After kernel upgrade I am seeing so many strange things. From System Setting, there are many options missing, like, no keyboard layout under Regional and Language, no internet setting options under network setting, and so on. Also, nothing works in adept, I can't upgrade, install packages, I sees:
Code:
"There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. "
And from apt-get install I get some more details:

Code:
imran@jantar:~$ sudo apt-get install billard-gl

One question is, what smartmontools is doing here? I actually removed the smartmontools out of despair.

What to do?
