I am trying to update my bandwidthd but it says that i should reinstall it, but when i do that it just throws me an error. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 in case it helps. I am getting really frustrated by this and don't know to fix it because it wont let me uninstall, reinstall, upgrade, or update. Please help me!! Thank you!

Try (in a terminal):
sudo apt-get -f install
and see if that helps.
