Hi Mark,
It seems that you have problem installing and uninstalling due to 3rd
party.
Do one thing, run the following commands:
1. ps afx|grep dpkg [To check if this process is running].
2. If there is any process, then kill with sudo killall dpkg
3. Remove the file using sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend
After this :
1. Go to system settings.
2. Go to Software& Updates.
3. Click on Other Software.
4. Remove all 3rd party repositories.
5. Run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get update
Then check if you are able to install or uninstall anything.

Title:
Can't install or uninstall any application
Status in qt4-x11 package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
I have this notification that says:
**
An error occured, please run Package Manager from the right click menu or
apt-get from the terminal
to see what is wrong.
The error message was:'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your
installed packages have unmet dependancies
**
I ran the 'sudo apt-get --qq upgrade' on the terminal and it returned:
**
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
**
I copy-pasted the recommendation 'apt --fix-broken install' into the terminal
and got this back:
**
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13:
Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend),
are you root?
**
I do have root privileges on my machine but beyond this point what am
I meant to do as I really don't wanna mess with anything else without
proper guidance.
