If it's still the timidity and python-central errors, try purging
those packages:
dpkg -P timidity
dpkg -P python-central
You might have to purge a few dependencies, too. Then:
dpkg --configure -a
That's the basic idea anyway for a way to correct this problem that
has worked for me in the past.
Once the configure completes successfully, I'd try:
apt-get -f install
until it does nothing, then finish the upgrade:
apt-get dist-upgrade
repeatedly until it is done. After all that, reinstall timidity and
python-central if you need them.
