So I went to terminal and entered
sudo apt-get install kmymoney
below is the result
bob@HP-g7:~$ sudo apt-get install kmymoney

What does it mean "you have held broken packages"?
And how do I correct this?

It seems that what you try to install is not the official Ubuntu version of kmymoney, but the version from the https://launchpad.net/~claydoh/+archive/ubuntu/kmymoney-testing "FOR TESTING PURPOSES!" PPA.

We can only help with the official version; for problems with the PPA version please contact the PPA provider.

I performed the following trying to solve an update problem. It appears that this process solved my Kmymoney problem as I was able to install it from the Ubuntu Software Center.
wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage
chmod +x ./fixpackage
sudo ./fixpackage
