I tried automatic upgrade from Ubuntu 15.10 to 16.04, but it failed. When the upgrade was finished, I received a warning that my system might not be working.
I rebooted, and in the upper right corner was a red circle with a white horizontal bar. When I clicked on it, it said:
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 Broken Count > 0'
This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.
I have no idea what "the right-click menu" is or how to run Package Manager from it, and what exact command should I run with apt-get? I tried:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
and it told me that there were dependency problems with many packages and it could not repair these. Here is the output:
<Xubuntu box>~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

From another thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2148529) it seems I should next try:
sudo apt-get install -f
I tried this command, and it seems that this fixed the broken dependencies. After rebooting, the red warning sign ("no entry" sign) was no longer shown. It would be nice to have it confirmed that this is sufficient, and that I don't need to do anything else now. It would also be nice to know the reason for this. Presumably something with software sources.
I rebooted, and in the upper right corner was a red circle with a white horizontal bar. When I clicked on it, it said:
