Unmet dependencies. Apt broken?

If you have apt-get and software centre, why would you need Synaptic?

Setting up linux-image-3.2.0-54-generic-pae (3.2.0-54.82) ...

Failed to run depmod

Your problem seems quite similar to bug #1072017 and several other ones.

Most of these problems were caused by hardware errors, and it should be checked whether you have the same root cause.
Can you please:
1. open a terminal and issue the command
dmesg > ~/dmesg.log
2. upload the file ~/dmesg.log to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
3. post the link that you receive from pastebin in this question document.

Sorry, but the command dmesg > ~/dmesg.log doesn't produce any results.

Hello Brent. There are not any result because output of a 'dmesg' command is in 'dmesg.log' file. So if you ran this command in your home directory, please see if there is a 'dmesg.log' file. If it was a different directory e.g. '/tmp', just search there.

By the way, this is the only additional information - the result of examine or control the kernel ring buffer provided by 'dmesg' command can be found in: 1) '/var/log/dmesg' file and 2) by running 'dmesg' (without quotes) command in a terminal/console.

One more thing. I see a message about duplicate 'sources.list' entry. Pleas check it for example via '/etc/apt/sources.list' file or by 'software-properties-gtk' command (it's a graphical method, so choose "Other Software" tab next select one of the duplicate entry and press the "Remove" button). There is also an information which suggesting to run 'apt-get update' to correct these problems.

Best regards.

Here's what I get after dmesg /var/log/dmesg

Should clean up the duplicate

Deleting those lines definitely cleaned up the duplicate issue, however the unmet dependency issue remains. Even after reattempting to run apt-get update and apt-get -f install. Update manager still not functioning properly either.

I just threw in the towel, created a new backup, and reinstalled Ubuntu. Problem solved. Thanks for the input!
