Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apt
I did an apt-get dist-upgrade today and got this
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
language-support-en: Depends: openoffice.org-l10n-en-us or
openoffice.org2-l10n-en-us but it is not
installable
openoffice.org-common: Depends: openoffice.org-l10n-en-us (>= 2.0.3)
openoffice.org-core: Depends: openoffice.org-common (> 2.0.4~rc2) but
2.0.3-4ubuntu2 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
The section "You might want to run 'apt-get -f install'" is misconstrued
as the whole command for a newbie. I myself hit this a while back then
added 'sudo' to the front and it worked. Is it possible to change this
message to include sudo at the front and (package name) at the end so it
is a little more informative for newbies?
