Another note, rebooting still resolves the issue, as long as you perform an apt-get purge before trying to install again (apt-get remove might work too, I didn't try it).
When I rebooted and tried to install again BEFORE I did the purge, I got this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo apt-get install nut Reading package lists...
