Package manager error messages?

[terrykiwi83]

Ok so I have been trying to install some games from the Synaptic Package Manager and I get the same error all the time and am unable to install anything.

Here are the error messages:







I have tried these solutions to no avail.

sudo apt-get install -f

On doing the above I get

Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix?

Hi

Open a terminal and type either

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite liferea-data_1.6.4-1ubuntu7_all.deb

or

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/liferea-data_1.6.4-1ubuntu7_all.deb

I forget which one it is from the 2 above.

And then for good measure

sudo apt-get -f install

Hopefully that should fix it.

Kind regards

Hi terrykiwi83.

Open synaptic.

In the bottom left, click custom filters.

In the top left, click broken.

You should be offered a choice to "fix boken packages".
