Since then I figure I could just reinstall the package - which
resulted in it still being corrupt so perhaps it's a problem with the
repository. Then noticed that it was an unsigned package so commented
out the dotdeb sources in apt and did and update and tried
re-installing again.

Needless to say it didn't work. Fine thinks I. I uninstall it removing
anything that had has dependancies to it (so long as I remember what I
removed) - short list - mediawiki and torrentflux. Removed it, and
then went to install torrentflux. Whoops. I'm running apache 2 yet it
put apache 1 style configuration files around the place. Just plain
messy. Think I might have gotten this all under control now (should
know after an hours worth of downloading).
