I decided to uncheck all the boxes and after running the final two commands everything seemed to run pretty normally except for this error:
** dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.7+dfsg-7ubuntu1_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite shared '/etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf', which is different from other instances of package libqtcore4:amd64 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/libqtcore4_4%3a4.8.7+dfsg-7ubuntu1_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) ** -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to qt4-x11 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1816047 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.
