Here is what happens when I try to install using apt-get install synaptic:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal : Depends: linux-headers-3.5.0-34-generic but it is not going to be installed
 linux-headers-generic-pae : Depends: linux-headers-3.2.0-48-generic-pae but it is not going to be installed
 synaptic : Depends: libept1.4.12 but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libvte9 (>= 1:0.24.0) but it is not going to be installed
            Recommends: rarian-compat but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Then I cannot run apt-get -f install, even when I log in as root

 Software Center might indeed suffice. However it is broken; here is the
message when I access it: "items cannot be installed or removed until
the package catalog is repaired .....". Attempts to repair fail because
of dependency problems.

Then you need to fix that. Its not software centre that is broken. The packages are in an inconsistent state. You could install ANY package application and you will get the SAME issue. They all manipulate the same packages. Think about it...

 Fair enough. How do I repair the unmet dependencies?

 A great start as well as clearing browser cache. You could even uninstall large apps like libreoffice then install the update and then remove old unused kernels. You can then reinstate libreoffice.

Also check the size of ~/.xsession-errors

 Thanks, but sudo apt-get clean was the very first thing I tried, with no
luck. My file '/' is the one that is full, and I don't know how to clean
it. Here is the terminal output from my attempts (is my syntax wrong?
Nothing happens)

brent@brent-MM061:~$ sudo apt-get clean

 Here is some more info. When I tried to uninstall libreoffice impress,
an error message appeared and said I should run apt-get install -f. Here
is the terminal output from running apt-get install -f and then sudo
apt-get install -f. What should I try next?

With only a 5.5Gb / partition you will need to trim down some. Uninstall applications you don't use to free space (Remmina f you dont use remote desktop and so forth). A default install of Ubuntu has a lot of applications, some of which you will never use.

Uninstall the email client if you use webmail.

That sort of jazz.

 Thanks. I really want to clear some space, but have not been able to do
so. For instance, when I try to use Ubuntu Software Center, I
immediately get an error message: "Items cannot be installed or removed
until the package catalog is repaired.....". Any suggestions on how to
clear space?

Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#20

Don't mix different issues!

Having no free inodes is one issue, and a broken package catalogue is another thing.
Before we can tackle the broken catalogue, we have to make sure that there is enough free space (resp. free inodes).

It seems that the dpkg --purge command has provided some free space. Now let us see how far we got, if we can get a bit further, and what the status of the package management system is.

please provide the output of the following commands:

df -I
dpkg -l | grep headers
sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-3.5.0-28-generic linux-image-3.5.0-28-generic
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update

 Manfred,
I'm sorry, but when I copy and paste the commands you sent, the results
look odd. Here is the output:

Launchpad keeps a log of all messages related to a question in one document, and it sends out notifications by e-mail.
It seems that you look at the e-mail notification, but your e-mail system does not correctly preserve line breaks, and thus the commands that I gave got scrambled.

Please use the web-based version of Launchpad by opening the page https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/231357
In the top right corner there is a 'login' link, please login with your e-mail-address and launchpad password (if you aren't already logged in), and then scroll down to the end of that document and look at the message #24.
There is a list of ten commands. Copy the one by one to execute them in a terminal window of your Ubuntu system, and then copy/paste the results back into the 'Message:' box.

sorry, two typo errors, should have been

...Copy them one by one... instead of ...Copy the one by one...
and

This looks good!

"df -i" shows that there are now 59800 inodes free on your root file system. This should be sufficient, as long as you keep an eye on it to make sure that you do not run out of inodes again.

"sudo apt-get -f install" has installed the missing header packages, so your package management system should be clean again.

Next steps: do the missing package updates ("...and 35 not upgraded...") and check if there is some more disk space/inodes that can be regained.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
dpkg -l | grep header
dpkg -l | grep image

Please copy/paste all output as done before.

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.

Revision history for this message
Manfred Hampl (m-hampl) said : 		#30

Glad to see that the problem has been solved.
To create some more free space you could/should remove some more outdated header packages:

sudo apt-get purge '^linux-headers-3.2.0-4*'
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.5.0-30 linux-headers-3.5.0-30-generic

If such apt-get terminal commands are too cryptic for you, you could also use software-center or synaptic to identify obsolete kernel header files (in fact all linux-header-* packages with a number lower than your current kernel version) and deinstall them using these programs.
