You'll need to do a FS check in order to remove those stale handles.

Sometimes it is enough to simply (forced) rm those files/folders, sometimes you' ll need to get into either an alternative OS that has access to that file system (inn case you have Nitdroid or something like that installed), or you could try getting rid of it in recovery mode.

A reboot often helps stale NFS handles.

Does this not mean that you have not working repositories...?! Try to disable your added repos.

Worst case senario: uninstall/remove the `theme-customizer' package and do an apt-get autoclean

Sean,

I am not at home so I can't share my notes I scribbled down the last time I bumped into these troubles.

I would try a remove (sudo gainroot -> rm -f <stale handle>). Probably that will not work, so the next step would be to boot into an alternative, if you have that installed, like Nitdroid or so. Next option would be ssh or Rob1n's backupmenu. Apart from that there is also a recovery console, but that requires bootmenu to be installed.
