Trying to configure certain aspect of ubuntu and mistakenly attempted to
install webmin.  Now I am hung trying to install or uninstall anything. 
This is what I get.

------------begin snip--------------
chris at ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get -f remove webmin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package webmin is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  webmin-apache: Depends: webmin (>= 1.140) but it is not going to be
installed
  webmin-core: Depends: webmin but it is not going to be installed
  webmin-cpan: Depends: webmin (>= 1.140) but it is not going to be
installed
  webmin-inetd: Depends: webmin (>= 1.140) but it is not going to be
installed
  webmin-mysql: Depends: webmin (>= 1.140) but it is not going to be
installed
  webmin-software: Depends: webmin (>= 1.140) but it is not going to be
installed
  webmin-squid: Depends: webmin (>= 1.140) but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
