I believe you installed Epitaph's crapware? The problem is likely to be related to it - in the install.sh script there are these lines:

Code:

if [ ! -f "/etc/apt/preferences" ] ; then
  touch /etc/apt/preferences
  echo 'Package: rootsh
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001' >> /etc/apt/preferences
fi

...which I believe will cause your problem.

If I had accidentally installed this 'app' I would seriously consider a complete re-flash due to the dubious nature of the code - it could include backdoors/password stealing etc. This is only my personal opinion.
