[Bug 510768] Re: Empathy-common: Broken package
I'm have the same problem. Empathy is broken and apt-get/aptitude won't let me uninstall it. I've tried repairing things with apt-get -f install. I'm really stuck, as I get lots of errors when I run aptitude or apt-get. The commands I ran and the results I got are shown below.
