E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I do you have the partner repo enabled?

i don't understand, how do I check if partner repo is enabled

I'm having the exact same problem, and none of the suggestions above worked for me. Here's some more info as requested.

I do have the partner repo enabled. Initially it said "distribution hardy" in the repo for partners, but I changed that to use "precise". I guess that should have been done in the upgrade.

It's going round and round in circles:

starting Software Centre, reports an error: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/280576/Screenshot%20from%202012-05-16%2011%3A29%3A06.png

When I click "Repair" it fails the repair: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/280576/Screenshot%20from%202012-05-16%2011%3A29%3A57.png

I managed to resolve this:

1. update the "partner repo" setting to say "precise" instead of "hardy" (I suspect this is the origin of this problem, this should have been done automatically in the upgrade).

2. refresh the package files

3. reboot

4. remove firefox (to get rid of the dependecy failure). "sudo apt-get remove firefox firefox-globalmenu firefox-gnome-support adobe-flash-properties-gtk"

5. sudo apt-get -f install

6. reboot

7. re-install firefox

and now my system is fine.

hope this helps someone.

Hi,
I think I have the exact same issue.
Could you please explain the steps above in a little more detail (the exact commands).
Thanks so much!!
Yaniv

I could not get it to work, so I did a full install, ask the other poster to
explain.

Cheers
