Hi Jason, your system wants to make you aware that some of your packages fail to install/upgrade.
In general for the class of errors it reported I recommend following [1] but adapted for the offending package in your case which is "libhx509-5-heimdal". But then since you report "No idea what Im supposed to put here, Ubuntu asked me to report the error, so I did." you might (no offense please) not be the most experienced admin. And heimdal is often not needed, you might also consider checking what you installed that caused to install it in the first place and just get rid of it. For example I do so much on my systems and I checked it is not in stalled on any of them. I see you did the install pulling it in on "Start-Date: 2017-06-19 01:31:40". I'm not sure what you installed there - wine maybe, but I have that as well and still no heimdal. Anyway following [1] should resolve it - the "do you really need2 was only a suggestion.
