I've managed to break apt-get, I think it had something to do with competing versions of libqt between supercollider and Skype. When I run apt-get -f install I get:

I read that I could fix this by installing aptitude and removing and reinstalling broken packages, but I can't install it using dpkg.

You should be able to remove packages using dpkg directly, for example:



sudo dpkg -r libqt4-sql-mysql:i386


You can then see if the remaining packages can be configured with



sudo dpkg --configure -a


Once everything's configured successfully, apt-get should be able to install aptitude which should be able to work out a solution to fix the dependencies.
