Ram:- 2Gb

Below are the unknown errors:-

You have run:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

... in that order? Not the other way around?

**amolshinde** · November 2nd, 2012

HTML Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

watch /etc/apt/sources.list to be sure you only use lucid archives (deactivate ppa if you have a few ones)

then clean the cache:
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove

then update again:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f

note: as your log shows, there is a conflict with libgtk, which might be not a genuine package , but installed by an extra archive like ppa.
note2: you need to pay attention at your locale settings https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale
