Now I'm really in a mess, it appears like.
I was on fmms 1.2.9 when I received notification about 1.3.0, but the 1.2.9 seems to have som serious issue with deinstalling. It always failed, have tried reinstalling, purging, trying to fix dependencies and all that typical stuff. Apt won't let me pass this error to install anything else at all.

Am I alone with this? Would be happy if someone could help me out, maybe the package owner.

Here's the problem:
