Post subject:  I broke apt-get...

I tried installing xmame on my mythtv box.

apt-get install xmame

It didn't work. I've giving up on xmame since I don't play games anyways, but now I'm trying to install lvm-common and the failed xmame install is causing problems.

I tried using apt-get -f install, but get the following:

# apt-get -f install

I would appreciate any help...
