I agree with Michael; anything that breaks the package manger should NOT be low priority. I was advised to drop to a console and run 'sudo apt-get install -f' and that failed miserably. Then, Ubuntu Software Manager advised I use the 'Broken Filter'......Huh? After some Googling, I found that someone used Synaptic to repair the broken package. It was in there that I found 'Filters' and clicked 'Broken'. I STILL didn't know what to do, but intuitively right clicked and saw 'Remove broken package'. This worked, but what a hassle to go through. This would MOST DEFINITELY scare away a noob. I envision the package manager behaving a bit more like this: Ubuntu Software Manager encountered a problem, would like to autorepair? Yes/No There are (x) number of packages broken, would you like to view the list? Yes/No Attempting to repair/remove broken packages...please wait:
