Thanks for your bugreport.

Can you please run "update-manager" and see if that helps fixing the problem?

Or

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Please make sure that when update manager is running synaptic or aptitude is closed and viceversa..

Hello

To correct this problem just open Terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Give your user password when requested. You will not see anything, but type it and press enter.

Then retry to update and/or to install desired package.

Regards

Can you help with this problem?
