Yesterday, I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10. Before then, Ubuntu 10.04 had issues installing/removing package and programs. Whenever I would do that, it would give me an error saying that it failed, but really it worked and I actually had Removed/Installed the program. Now I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 netbook and I actually cant Upgrade, Install, or remove anything. I have an error message in the top right corner that says: An error occured, please run package manager from the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: 'Error: BrokenCount >0'This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies. whenever I run the update manager and click install updates it says: The package system is broken
Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f.
I run sudo apt-get install -f (apt-get install -f asks for root permissions) and the terminal says:
