While installing Wesnoth on my 770 I seem to've run out of space.

Code:
Installing wesnoth 1.2.6-1
/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: not found
(Reading database ... 11983 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libfreetype6 2.1.10-1osso1 (using
.../libfreetype6_2.2.1-1osso3_armel.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libfreetype6 ...
Selecting previously deselected package wesnoth.
Unpacking wesnoth (from .../wesnoth_1.2.6-1_armel.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing
/var/cache/apt/archives/wesnoth_1.2.6-1_armel.deb (--unpack):
 failed in buffer_write(fd) (8, ret=-1): backend dpkg-deb during
`./usr/share/wesnoth/images/attacks/fireball.png': No space left on
device
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/wesnoth_1.2.6-1_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Having cleared up enough memory, I attempted a scond installation, but found this problem:

Code:
Installing wesnoth 1.2.6-1
apt-worker: not configuring unrelated package libfreetype6
/bin/sh: /usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure: not found
(Reading database ... 11876 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking wesnoth (from .../wesnoth_1.2.6-1_armel.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of wesnoth:
 wesnoth depends on libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1); however:
 Package libfreetype6 is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing wesnoth (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 wesnoth
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I checked my list of installed apps (in red-pill mode) and discovered that the libfreetype6 is listed as broken. It is also listed by about half-dozen apps as a dependency, so I am affraid of uninstalling it from the system. Is there:
1. Any way to repair libfreetype6 without reflashing
2. Installing Wesnoth now that libfreetype6 is broken
