hey :)

unfortuntly nothing happen at all
i copy pasted it into the terminal and askd my my password, then, nothing it just returnd to the beging

kareemilshazli@kareemilshazli-Satellite-L500:~$ sudo touch /usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/places/ubuntu-logo.svg
[sudo] password for kareemilshazli:
kareemilshazli@kareemilshazli-Satellite-L500:~$

by the way...
i googled about my problem and found to things related to what i may have but nothing did really happen either

1.>First, try a normal update to see if will resolve the dependency problem:
                           sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get update
If this does not work, see if the dependencies can be fixed by forcing completion:
                                         sudo apt-get -f install
Possibly, this will have same effect if there unwanted dependencies that are causing a problem:
                                     sudo apt-get -f remove

2.>Try

                         sudo apt-get remove evolution-exchange
                              sudo apt-get -f install
                         sudo apt-get update
                              sudo apt-get upgrade
                         sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
                              sudo apt-get autoremove
                         sudo apt-get install --reinstall evolution-exchange

again nothing did happen the terminal kept on listing alot of stuff and did and update check then nothin
(btw after i installd new updates it told me there's an error but i can remeber and the update was complete ! )
