For some reasons, the installation of Google talk failed and now I cannot install anything. First when I tried apt-get, I was asked to run this command:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

which went well, but still I get the following error when I try to install anything:

sudo apt-get install r-base
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: The package google-talkplugin needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.

If I try to reinstall google-talkplugin, Ubuntu Software Center cannot even start! how can I fix this bug?

Try this command:

sudo apt-get install -f

If the problem still exists, then edit the dpkg status file

sudo -H gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status

Find the package in question, and remove everything that has anything to do with it, then save the file and restart your system.
