12.04 LTS Still can't update or use Software Center

**brevardo** · October 10th, 2012

Here's what I've been trying to run for weeks and below is what I keep getting

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f

kg: error processing software-center (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Install Synaptic Package Manager.

IMHO it works better and faster than Ubuntu Software Center.

**litiform** · October 12th, 2012

I second that. Synaptic is much better.

**zvacet** · October 13th, 2012

I agree that synaptic is better solution,but i don´t think OP will be able to install it until he solve present problem.

What do you recommend?

**brevardo** · October 13th, 2012

I agree and I've tried that several times and because of this issue I'm having I can't update, upgrade or install anything. I need to first figure out how to remove these unmet dependencies or resolve the broken package issue?

**zvacet** · October 15th, 2012

Try with

Code:

sudo dpkg --configure ubuntu-sso-client-gtk
sudo dpkg --configure ubuntu-sso-client-qt

I really appreciate you trying to help Zvacet but here's the error message I get when I follow your suggestions: g: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-sso-client-qt:
