I'm unsure what the root cause was, but this appeared after upgrading
from 18.04 to 19.10 with pronterface (slic3r, etc) installed. I also got
the attached screenshot stating "the package system is broken. check if
you are using third party repositories. the following packages have
unmet dependencies: printrun: depends: plater, printcore, pronsole,
pronterface but it is not installed"

I decided to `sudo apt remove printrun` followed by `sudo apt install
printrun` and that seemed to make things happy again. Good old "turn it
off and back on again."

This bug may be closed unless someone wants to look into why the issue
occurred in the first place; the scary software reporting popups and
hamstringing of the software updater might make average users anxious
(and I at least wanted something searchable for anyone else who has
these issues.)

For what it's worth I had a similar issue with libyubikey-udev trying to
overwrite /lib/udev/rules.d/69-yubikey.rules conflicting with
libykpers-1-1:amd64 1.20.0-1~ppa1~bionic1 which I'm unsure if it self-
resolved or will recur on next boot, maybe I need to kick it as well
though I've noticed no issues with my yubikey.
