The problem package seems to be procps. In attempting to remove the referenced manpages-zh to try to correct this, the system will not remove that package, even with the -purge command included.
Synaptic reports the same error.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
EDIT: RESOLVED. Ran dpkg -r --force-depends manpages-zh which removed only that package, then procps successfully installed.
