Quassel install broken, causes other app installs to fail

Using 0.35.0 (testing) on a Raspberry Pi 2.

Upon trying to install Searx, I get the following error message on Plinth:

Error installing application: Error during installation E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The package downloads successfully, but it fails to install.

Here is the log of the install attempt:

Similar issues have been reported here, but none of the suggested solutions have worked for me. For reference, I've looked at #1156 (closed) and #1133 (closed).

Does anyone know what the cause of this error is? What can I do to fix it?
