Hi,
When I tried to run the update manager I get the following error: Software index is broken
It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the package manager "Synaptic" or run "sudo apt-get install -f" in a terminal to fix this issue at first.
When I run "sudo apt-get install -f" I get the following:
brett@brett-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install -f
