Wow, I've never seen this error before.

Hm, a couple of askubuntu threads mention this error message:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/164415/how-do-i-resolve-wasnt-able-to-locate-a-file-for-the-libpango1-0-0-package
http://askubuntu.com/questions/68257/cant-install-remove-upgrade-any-package

Advice given there more or less consists of trying

  dpkg --configure -a  (should fix the "not fully installed or removed" thing)

  apt-get update

and retrying

  apt-get -f install
