Whenever I attempt to install or remove packages via apt-get (like removing Firefox or installing Pidgin), I get dependency errors. This all started when I tried to install Cinnamon from the official PPA, which gave me this output:
So then I try the apt-get -f install command, which gives me this:Code:gerrit@picklhaus:~$ sudo apt-get install cinnamon Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: cinnamon : Depends: gir1.2-clutter-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-cogl-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-coglpango-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-folks-0.6 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-gee-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-json-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-muffin-3.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gjs (>= 1.29.18) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgjs0- Depends: libgjs0c (>= 1.32.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libmozjs185-1.0 (>= 1.8.5-1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: caribou but it is not going to be installed Depends: cups-pk-helper but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-polkit-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 but it is not going to be installed Depends: mesa-utils but it is not going to be installed Recommends: gnome-themes-standard but it is not going to be installed Recommends: gnome-session-fallback but it is not going to be installed libmuffin0 : Depends: libcogl5 (>= 1.7.4) but it is not installable Depends: muffin-common (= 1.0.2) but 1.0.3-UP1-0ubuntu1~precise1 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies.

I googled libmuffin0 and I found out that it's part of a window manager called muffin, which I attempt to install here:Code:gerrit@picklhaus:~$ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists...

Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libmuffin0: libmuffin0 depends on libcogl5 (>= 1.7.4); however: Package libcogl5 is not installed. libmuffin0 depends on muffin-common (= 1.0.2); however: Version of muffin-common on system is 1.0.3-UP1-0ubuntu1~precise1. dpkg: error processing libmuffin0 (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

So we've come full-circle, I think. I should note I'm dualbooting Ubuntu and Win7 and I've only created the root, home, and swap partitions because I'm planning on store most stuff on the Windows partition. Any help is appreciated.Code:gerrit@picklhaus:~$ sudo apt-get install muffin Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
