this gives:
---
# apt-get -f install

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0B of archives.
After unpacking 0B of additional disk space will be used.

and this results in the following:
---
# apt-get -f install

Hope to hear soon any news... :-)
