yawdi,

This is due to a dependency problem.

Fire up a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and enter the following code:

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
You'll be prompted for a password, enter your password.

An editor opens up. Replace all the lines in the file with the lines below:

deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted

Try correcting the dependency problem opening terminal and typing in it:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
It will ask your password, enter it. You will not see any asterisks when entering password in terminal.
