Basically, I accidentally knocked my external hard drive whilst I was running karmic on it, and whilst synaptic was installing updates. I have got my system up and running again after a hard restart, but now when trying to install updates again I get this message:

E: libdatrie1: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

E: nautilus: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

E: seahorse: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Does anyone know how I can resolve these dependency problems, and then configure the packages?

All help appreciated :D

David

#2 
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

Keep running those until no errors

#3

Unfortuantly I seem to be getting the same over and over again:

try moving the file "/var/lib/dpkg/info/libdatrie1.postinst" out of the way (its a simple enough script) and running, "dpkg --configure -a" again. you may want to reinstall libdatrie1 again after that after that

Thank you, that seemed to work fine :D
