Hello.
When I try to use apt-get, Ubuntu Software Center, or Synaptics manager, it will have an error and says that the installer is broken.
So, I run the command
sudo apt-get install -f
It installs everything except for this one package called splashy. I keep trying to use this command and it still doesn't work. I can not install anything else because of this.

If I use Synaptic Package Manager and I press fix broken packages, this is what comes up:
