Hello,
I sometimes met with this feature, and I saw the right command line to 
fix it recently on this list.
The thing is that according to what I read in the man, the synopsis 
seems to say the option must be placed after the command, and before the 
argument.
Then it should look like something like that:
$sudo apt-get --fix-missing install

and that should do the trick.
Unless I mistake and the --fix-missing option must be after :)
I would try the first way, then if it's repaired I would do a 
'--reinstall' option.

See 'man apt-get' to check, if you want.
Greetings, Joyce markoll.
