I installed a broken package, and now apt-get/aptitude is failing with trying to remove it Each time I run a apt operation, this is the message I get:

Removing crossplatformui ...
ztemtvcdromd: no process found
dpkg: error processing crossplatformui (--remove):

running sudo apt-get install -f gives me this:
