Any thoughts on how to fix it? I also have the problem that is is only half installed at the moment, so when i use it from the Settings menu and hit "save" i get the messages "failed to save the settings". Hence the reason for wanting to reinstall.
can you plz do:

sudo apt-get clean

before reinstalling.
