... revealing that some version of krusader is already partly
installed.

This suggests an incompatibility between the partly-installed version
of krusader and the version which is compatible with the Ubuntu that
you're using.  Please run "dpkg -s krusader" to see the version and
status of the partly-installed version, and run "apt-cache show
krusader" to find what versions are compatible with your Ubuntu.  If
there's a disparity, you might have to "dpkg -r krusader" as David
suggests, and then start over.

... before running apt-get update, right?

BTW, a way to capture verbatim responses without their becoming
encrusted in html is the program "script".
