If in doubt try the -d option (download only, no install), then use cp -t your safe location, so that you can use dpkg to force install until you find out what works. (Then run apt-get -f install, to see what needs correction, or dpkg --purge --force-all if you get into really deep doodoo. Just do it by baby steps, so that you don't make extreme changes and end up with a broken system, and nothing left to do but reinstall from scratch.
