It's a "W" Warning only that has been covered a few times here.
It's due to expired keys, all should still work fine unless you have other issues.

http://pastie.org/8343974
something about the anki pkg (btw ankiqt is working om my system, ankimaemi is not.

Re: broken apt-get
 
ok, now this:
http://pastie.org/8344621
so do I need to remove these other packages, too?
can you tell me what the error msgs mean (also for ankimaemi)?

oops, what's this?
http://pastie.org/8344675
this results from apt-get upgrade

Looks like you have to remove that package also, or for installing it, you have to create /tmp/tuning manually.

Thi looks very similar to the problems I'm having here.

I've got the HAM errors in that tread too

@rfa, that's a bit like saying, "I have the same problem, my car is also broken," when one problem is no oil and the other one is flat tyres.

@benny, your problem is this line:
"3 not fully installed or removed."
In other words, you have a corrupt installation of certain package(s) that the remove script cold not properly remove due to some missing files.
I suggest heeding michaaa62's advice. Create (temporarily) /tmp/tuning (run touch /tmp/tuning) and try again.

You can get a full list of all partially installed packages by running dpkg -l | grep ^pi.

I'd remove the packages causing the issue and reinstall them, myself.

Yes but sometimes remove fails, leaving behind partially installed packages.
Which is why one needs to read the apt-get output.

Code:
apt-get remove --purge foopackage
I generally use HAM but if I use apt-get to remove something I use the above.

Hopefully the package should be clever enough to clean or reincorporate any existing installation or I would say it's flawed.
