Hi,

I'm new to Kubuntu, and just installed 9.10 onto my laptop. Everything works great, but while I'm learning how to use kubuntu I found this error when trying to add software using the software manager:

"There are broken dependecies on your system. Please use an advanced package manage e.g. Synaptic or aptitude to resolve this situation."

How do I resolve this problem? The system won't let me do anything until this is resolved, so I'm really stuck.

Open a terminal and try fixing the broken package with

sudo apt-get -f install
