Clicking repair gives me another error, this happened after I installed Skype. Even trying to fix the broken packages in the synaptic package manager is giving me an error.
I'm sure there's more information you need to help me, so whatever you need I'm more than willing to let you know. Thanks in advance.

Hi
After the update command from oldos2er, i would now run
(I think autoclean might remove a subset of clean but...)Code:sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get autoremove
and then
Post back any errors these commands may produce.Code:sudo apt-get -f install
If no errors then try to use the software center again.
Kind regards

It looks like this is a known bug.

I don't mean to be a bother, but I'm having trouble understanding what to do with this information:
Seems like a new version of the qt4 libs has been published today. Now libqtcore4 (and also Skype) installation is working for me again.Where exactly can I find these patches?I can confirm, after just downloading and installing the latest batch of patches there are no more dependency issues and Skype works fine.
I'm back baby.
Hi
Don't worry. You're not a bother
This was the version they were using.
This is the version your are pulling down from precise updates repoCode:libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.1-0ubuntu4_i386.deb
According to this...Code:libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.1-0ubuntu4_1_i386.deb
http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package...tes/libqtcore4
...a version was moved there on the second of May.
Try downloading the package libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.1-0ubuntu4_1_i386.deb from the llink above. You want the 32 bit version.
Download it to you home directory using a web browser then open a terminal and type
If it installs then all well and good (i am not convinced it will work though). TryCode:sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Post back any errors.Code:sudo apt-get -f install
It may just be a case that you are downloading an older version of the package somehow.

Thank you so much! After much pain trying to find the solution on my own I wish I could have found something is straightforward as this. I tried to change the little prefix to solved, but I just edited it in the title. Only change I made to your instructions was that I installed the 64bit one, since I'm running a 64bit computer.
I'm back baby.
Hi
I'm glad it's fixed
Just a note to let you know you can mark a thread as solved using the thread tools drop down menu at the top right of the page level with the new reply button.
