Could you post your /etc/apt/souces.list file here please. Maybe we can figure out where that version of ttf-lyx came from and how to correct it.

How would you like me to do that? is there a way of me doing it inside the Terminal? or do you want me to go into the sources file and copy and paste?
EDIT:Sorry for double post.

I'd do the copy and paste thing! (but only because I'm lazy that way  )
just type;
Code:
gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
And it should open the file as read-only. |

Ok, so it started to upgrade to Maverick, and then something failed leaving the Maverick repositories in your sources.list file. The Maverick repository only have the 1.6.7-1 version of ttf-lyx and the 2.0.0-1 version first appears in the Natty updates repository.
Now, at this point I'm not sure how best to proceed. You have three options;
1. Backup your data, download the latwst Ubuntu .iso and do a fresh install.
2. Try installing the ttf-lyx .deb from the Natty repo (then uninstall)
3. wait for someone to give you a better option |

1. Would that require A disk?
2. how would I uninstall it? Sorry super newb.. >//<
3. I will try two and see where that goes. |

Start by downloading the .deb from this page
http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty-upd...f-lyx/download
Then install it. you can do this by right clicking on it from nautilus and select 'open with gdebi'
If that works, try uninstalling it again. |

Not at all. But it's starting to look like apt is completely crippled by the failed upgrade! 
Ok, I've had a look at what's been tried from the beginning and is looks like there is one thing that hasn't been done! (although I thought it had ?)
try,
Code:
sudo apt-get -f install ttf-lyx-
if that works, it should remove the damaged package and get us at least halfway to normal again. |

the same problem occured to me and for me just moving ttf-lyx to trash from nautilus didn't work, the solution that worked for me is as follows
1) I corrected the getdeb entry in sources.list to that of lucid entry
(deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu/ lucid-getdeb apps)
2) Then I gave this command :- celsius@ubuntu:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ sudo mv ttf-lyx.postrm ttf-lyx.postrm.bak
celsius@ubuntu:/var/lib/dpkg/info$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-lyx
3) I got this idea from here :-
