Can you please use full english words. You are not charged by the letter on here so using:

5n
den
dat

and other such nonsense is not only EXTREMELY immature but may also confuse users seeking help on a similar issue if English is not their first language, so please, do everybody a favour and don't bother next time.

If you reboot the system and hold shift, select recovery mode and then select root, you will drop to a root console. You can now run:

apt-get -f install

And the packages which were stopped will continue to install. You can then reboot by running:

reboot

then boot as normal. Does this help
