  • Answer:

    I suspect that you might have some broken packages. I am not sure what the command with dpkg is but you can use Synaptic and click on fix broken packages or with apt-get or aptitude: sudo aptitude install -f or sudo apt-get install -f You might have to run that a few times if it does not fix all broken packages the first time. Good luck
