Unable to add software from Ubuntu Software Center. Get error message "Previous installation hasn't been completed.

"The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way. You have to repair this before you can install or remove any further software."

Any simple fix to this problem? Thanks.

In a terminal try running

   sudo apt-get -f install

to fix your "broken"/unfinished package.

Good luck,
George
