Wifi and keyboard/mouse problems

[juniperz]

Hmm... Installed MobaXterm and can SSH into the Pi, but
sudo xbian-config
just gives
This program requires the dialog package: apt-get install dialog
I then try
sudo apt-get install dialog
and I get
Reading package lists... Error!
E: Problem parsing dependency Breaks
E: Error occurred while processing libc6-dev (NewVersion2)
E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/dpkg/status
E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

Spot the linux noobie and first-tims SSHer eh? Got to start somewhere...
All googling seems to suggest that just doing xbian-config should bring up the xbian-config panel.
