Public bug reported: Binary package hint: software-center
After an installation that had its own issues (bug 746015), I got the following frightening message (and it might just be a symptom of that other bug, but I figured better safe than sorry): "The package system is broken" "Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f" "The following packages have unmet dependencies: " To be clear, that's not a typo. The "details" window had a blank line where the unmet dependencies should go. I typed "sudo apt-get install -f" in a Terminal, but it didn't want to do anything. I just realized that I got this error many times. Closing one window opened another. So maybe it was just a result of bug 746015 after all...
