omweather can't remove or install
 
I was trying to install omweather and I got an error and ended up backing out. now in my Application Manager it shows omweather version 0.19.5 with a size 0kb.

I can't seem to uninstall or reinstall it's just stuck

Any suggestions would be good.

Thanks

I'm not so familiar with this error. Everytime I encountered it, I just did what it says (advices from dpkg are very good in general)
But maybe better do it from the command line.
You need root access and an xterm.
As root
apt-get install omweather

maybe apt-get -f install if the above doesn't succeed.
