Hi all. Just installed my first Linux in over a decade. Trying to update with Synaptic but am getting broken dependencies and I don't know how to fix them. The instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure said to post this here. Hopefully someone can point me to how to fix this...
Thanks!
