    Question held broken packages

    Ubuntu 12.04 /i386 32b
    Synaptic is listing 1 broken package. When I [Fix Broken] I get the below error message:

    E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
    E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
    E: Unable to correct dependencies

    Suggestions ? Fixes ? Clues ? Hints ?

    Thanks in advance

    In synaptic > Status, click on 'Broken Packages', see what it is.
    You could mark it for removal & see if synaptic wants to remove anything else & if so if can you deal with it then do so.
