It should try and fix any half installed packages.
it says :

dpkg: error processing account-plugin-butterfly (--configure) :

Setting up account-plugin-haze (0.7) ...

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of telepathy-extras:
Package telepathy-extras depends on account-plugin-haze; however:
Package account-plugin-haze is not configured yet.
telepathy-extras depends on acount-pluginbutterfly; however:
Package account-plugin-butterfly is not configured yet.

Errors were encountered while processing:
account-plugin-butterfly
account-plugin-haze
telepathy-extras
E: Sub-[rocess /usr/bin/dpkg return an error code (1)

Now, how can this be fixed?
Do i remove all extras and try reinstalling? cuz i tried that...
or is there an shorter, better, more efficient way?

An oh yeah!! Other application i tried to install gave me the same mistake ie. "gtk-update-icon-cache: Failed to open /usr/share/icons/hicolor/.icon-theme.cache: file exists." like vncviewer and hermes.
Will the fixing procedure fix the other installs too?
