Basically, I shoot until I hit the right thing, I do a test run on commands
(scrolling through manpages - man apt-get), trying them out to see what they
do, if their descriptions look worth pursuing. If in doubt try the -d option
(download only, no install), then use cp -t your safe location, so that you
can use dpkg to force install until you find out what works. (Then run
apt-get -f install, to see what needs correction, or dpkg --purge --force-all
if you get into really deep doodoo.
Just do it by baby steps, so that you don't make extreme changes and end up
with a broken system, and nothing left to do but reinstall from scratch.

Lately, I've been seeing more often that
probably due to a malfunctioning
transparent proxy somewhere at the provider, I'm getting corrupted and
apt lists or damaged packages. And I have to download them repeatedly and
repeatedly and... For such cases, it usually helps me to set up apt to
know that the broken proxy is in the way:
Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";
Acquire::http::No-Cache=True;
Acquire::BrokenProxy=true;
Hi Slávek,
For those of who don't know better, where would those commands go?
Thanks,
Michael
PS: I've had this happen (rarely) as well.
