Chris,

What happened when you ran the commands I sent?  Do you have output?  It 
sounds like something caused dpkg to stop during a configuration step, which 
might be resolved with:

apt-get -f install
apt-get dist-upgrade

I'll try to test a karmic install later.

I can say certainly that backuppc works just fine on Ubuntu hardy (the last LTS 
release), either with the stock packages or the ones from my repository.

Regards,
Tyler
