You may run the following to check if the package system has any broken dependencies:

Code:
apt-get check
If there's any installation problem occurred before you may resume it by:

Code:
dpkg --configure -a
Better yet, if you know the problematic package in question, you may try the following:

Code:
apt-get install --fix-missing <package name>
Of course, it's chance that the dependencies are broken beyond the help of automatic repairing. You'd need to include some force options that is varying case by base.
