I'm having a problem with apt-get anything. After the operation completes I get this error (see attached image). I've already tried a complete FIASCO + eMMC reflash with no results. Oh and BTW is my device supposed to have a reset (restore original settings) if I turned it off and unplugged the battery?

Funny you mention that error, because I can't seem to install anything with APT-GET at the moment, no matter what installation I try, it tells me it wants to remove "keyboard-shortcuts" but when it runs through it it fails with some errors.

/home/user # apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel-power kernel-power-flasher

I opened the Application Manager and tried removing it from there as well, and it doesn't allow me to remove it.

Does anyone have any ideas why?

Your problem seems to be with the account-plugin-salut package. Have you tried to install just it (install it without trying to install telepathy-extras at the same time)?

It usually asks for the time & location to be reset, but shouldn't restore any other settings.

The script is trying to kill a process which isn't actually running, and therefore failing. You'll probably need to edit the script (/var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-shortcuts.postrm) and remove/comment out the line trying to "killall dbus-scripts".
