Title: Inconsistent package state error message is misleading Status in Aptdaemon: Confirmed Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18, Ubuntu Maverick Ubuntu Software Center 5.4.1.2, Ubuntu 12.10 Based on test case <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwarePackageOperations#broken>: 1. sudo apt-get install 4g8 && sudo dpkg --force-depends -r libnet1 2. Launch Ubuntu Software Center. (When finished testing, reset if necessary with "sudo apt-get remove 4g8 libnet1".) What happens: An alert appears, "Items cannot be installed or removed until the package catalog is repaired. Do you want to repair it now?" "Once Update Manager has finished the repairs, you can close it and return to the store." (Or in later versions, "the Software Center" [sic]). What should happen: "If software can’t be installed because existing software has broken or unsatisfied dependencies, a confirmation alert should appear. It should have primary text 'New software can’t be installed, because there is a problem with the software currently installed. Do you want to repair this problem now?'"
