Ubuntu – Popcorn Time stuck in apt-get

14.04apt

So I'm just coming back to Ubuntu after some time away, running 14.04 and I've gotten things customized the way I like them, more or less. At one point I'd attempted to download "Popcorn-Time." I ran into some issues of some sort and decided to remove it/that it wasn't worth the trouble.

Something from the install process seems to be "stuck" in apt-get though. I'm having issues getting new packages and I'm getting this message:

Processing triggers for man-db (2.6.7.1-1ubuntu1) ...

download failed
Popcorn Time is NOT installed.
dpkg: error processing package popcorn-time (--configure):

...

Errors were encountered while processing:
 popcorn-time
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I've omitted a couple of lines there, but I think you get the idea. This is occurring when I try to install most packages using apt-get, maybe all packages. It seems like it's interfering, and frankly I'd like it to not try to install popcorn time every time I install any package.

Any ideas?

Turned out I needed to remove it from dpkg:

dpkg -r popcorn-time

And that took care of it for me. Thanks again for the help and suggestions everyone!
