how to solve dependency problems
After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, I get these kinds of error reports whenever updates are installed. I have no clue about these issues and I am new to Linux. Can someone explain these error logs? I am still able to use Hardy for my normal usage and I do not see any problem whatsoever, excepting my webcam, which is not working after upgrade.

Hardy will not be released for another month. Upgrading now is a bit premature. The beta version is out so running that is fine if you wish to help discover and report bugs.
As for the error, I'm not sure. What does the contents of /etc/apt/
sudo dpkg --configure -a

Thanks for the response.
I always want to explore and learn. As you said, I want to discover and report bugs. The contents of /etc/apt has many source.

probably your sources list is messed up. If you can run gnome, try choosing another server from synaptic.

I tried your suggestion and it did not work for me. I decided to go for a clean Hardy install. I do not have this problem any more. Thanks.
