Can't install Limewire

Hi, thanks for your question!

Make sure you don't have anything running that installs or updates packages, like:
- Synaptic Package Manager
- apt-get on the command line
- The Update Manager in your system tray (The one that says "You have X new updates. Install now?")

Apt-get and the Update Manager continue to run in the background while they are updating programs.

Cheers!

i dont see anything running and i cant even find the update manager im kind of slow when it comes to computers and then i just installed ubuntu and now im totally lost please help

Try restarting your computer? There shouldn't be any package managers running then.

error:failed to satisfy all dependencies (broken cache)

if you run:

ps -ef | grep -i apt; ps -ef | grep -i dpkg; ps -ef | grep -i synaptic

is anything output except something similar to this:
andy@fileserver:~$ ps -ef | grep -i apt; ps -ef | grep -i dpkg; ps -ef | grep -i synaptic
andy 26550 29972 0 00:08 pts/1 00:00:00 grep -i apt
andy 26552 29972 0 00:08 pts/1 00:00:00 grep -i dpkg
andy 26554 29972 0 00:08 pts/1 00:00:00 grep -i synaptic

If not, run this command:
sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo apt-get update

it said that it was successfully installed but when i click on limewire it comes up the package installer screen and it has the option to re-install so how do i access it

Thanks actionparsnip, that solved my question.
