Hello,

I have a package problem with my Ubuntu system, and since then I cannot install any packages or perform any updates. Can you help me?

Configuration: Mac OS X (10.11.3) / Chrome 48.0.2564.116

      And when I click on the icon, it displays this
      An error occurred. Please run the package manager from the context menu (right click) or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong.
      It says that some of the installed packages have unmet dependencies.

    And which Ubuntu are you running? Ubuntu 14.10? Ubuntu 15.04?

    Sure! You open the terminal and enter the following phrase:
    sudo apt-get update
    You press Enter and enter your password.
    There's a chance this will unlock your system; if not, let us know what you get.

    You open the Synaptic package manager. At the top left, you have the option: reload. You click on it, and it will give you the list of packages that are not updated and those that are broken. You update them, then you do in the terminal again:
    sudo apt-get update
    and after that, it should work.
