Broken packages

[cquigley]

Hi Everyone-

I finally found out why I could not install some apps. I ran "gksudo synaptic" and found out that I have to broken packages. Below are the broken packages. This is word for word how synaptic showed the broken packages when I used the broken filter. I am running Jaunty 9.04.

1. Package - linux-image-generic
Installed ver. - 2.6.28.14.19
Latest Ver. - 2.6.28.14.19
Description - Generic Linux kernel

2. Package - image linux-restricted-modules-2.6.28-14-generic
Installed Ver. - 2.6.28-14.19
Latest Ver. - 2.6.28-14.19
Description - Non-free Linux kernel modules for version 2.6.28 on x86/x86_64

I cannot figure out how to fix these. Please any help would be great.

thanks,
cquigley

To fix broken packages you can open up a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and type

sudo apt-get -f install
or open Synaptic (System>Admin>Synaptic) and go to Edit>Fix Broken Packages.

They don't work. It finds error instead:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic_2.6.28-14.47_i386.deb: η υποδιεργασία pre-installation script επέστρεψε κατάσταση λάθους 1

Can you post the whole output to

sudo apt-get -f install hopefully this will provide further information on what the problem is.

Well, after rebooting "sudo apt-get -f install" did work! Thanks for your help!
