This is what worked for me, but it might not exactly fit your case. I deleted the redpll repository from the application catalog, and everything worked fine once again. Not only that, but all the packages that redpill contained were left behind, either as already installed or ready for installation. I don't understand it, but was ultaimately very pleased.

I have been there a few times myself. Reading the forums here i stumbled across these commands and thus far have fixed me up.
FIX BROKEN APPLICATION MANAGER run these commands from xterm as sudo
# cd /var/lib/dpkg/
# mv status status.broken
# cp status-old status
I use this method for becoming root. http://maemo.org/maemowiki/HowDoiBecomeRoot2

Sounds like I can get a fix if I can become root...

You can become root the old fashioned way.
