You can use the command line equivalent for the same. Dont worry command-line isnt so geeky or tough. Its just a matter of choice and additional option. The command for it is


sudo apt-get upgrade

I know we should run update first, but I hardly do so.

so first do a

sudo apt-get update

Chances are these packages are missing a dependency and aren't being installed. You can force it, but I recommend just waiting til the dependencies are all there (they get packaged at different rates).

[chanfle]

so....what i need to do...???

Wait and check the updates later today, or tomorrow, and it should all work again.

The second command is:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
