Update problem
hello,
I, too have a persistent problem that I have been trying to solve that resembles JiraiyaSenjou's post here.
When I run the Update Manager for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS,
I get an "update complete" message; but the updates have failed.
The message is in the attached png.
I have tried some suggestions I found on other boards that did not help;
but I don't know how to proceed further and whether I will break something
without getting the correct instructions from someone here on Ubuntu Forums
Here (below) is the output of what I tried in terminal mode

As you can see, I cannot update ANY packages or remove ANY packages.
I've tried this in "Synaptic Pkg Manager", too and it will not remove or update. I also cannot "unselect" the "wine-compholio"
package in Update Manager.
@Blazemore Will the solution you gave @JiraiyaSenjou work for me as well,
or do i need to do something different?
Thank you for your help.
BTW.. I am glad to see Ubuntu Forums back on-line. I do appreciate this site very much.
