what to do ?

Re: facing problem while installing or removing
 
I dunno how to use the "Faster Application Manager".

Use the "Fastest Application Manager" and see what happens...

Become root first... There are many many ways, see which one works for you... If none did, let me know. You must open xterm first, and then try one of these commands. See which one will work, and will make you root:
root
sudo -i

After that, use this command to remove the package you want:
apt-get remove [PACKAGE]

You can try this for installing:
apt-get install [PACKAGE]

If you are interested, see the man page:
http://man.cx/apt-get

This way, you can use the package manager, without stupid GUI front-ends...

You can see how "deep" the problem is, this way... I think there is no problem with dpkg here...

If this doesn't work, it means that we should fix your Debian package manager...

Re: facing problem while installing or removing
 
Do what is stated on the screenshot you provided: Read the log!
If you have any questions ask, but give some info like what package you were aiming to get, what the blocking applications (as stated in the log) are and so on.

Try this command:

apt-get -f remove catblock

Please try
Code:
apt-get install -f
to show the state of your package management system.

search the forum for "catblock".
There is a bug in its uninstall script. There are several threads about it, including the solution.

It doesn't work anyway.

Remove it by force and see how it goes...

apt-get -f remove catblock

catblock install scripts require bash. You have to change this to sh or install bash to uninstall it properly.
