Learning to read and understand error messages in Kubuntu

[Juukamen]

I've got this and it's getting annoying when I'm trying to install programs

juukamen@juukamen-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get -f install sysvconfig
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
disk-manager: Depends: python2.4 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-notify but it is not going to be installed
kio-sysinfo: Depends: libhd13 but it is not going to be installed
sysvconfig: Depends: dialog but it is not going to be installed
xfe: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.6-1) but 2.5-0ubuntu14 is to be installed
Depends: libfox-1.6-0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2-20070516) but 1:4.1.2-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.2-20070516) but 4.1.2-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
xmoto: Depends: libode0c2 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsdl-mixer1.2 (>= 1.2.6) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libsdl-ttf2.0-0 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

any ideas on how to approatch those problems ?

What version are you using? I'm guessing Kubuntu Feisty from the messages below.

Start off by running the following two commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

If any errors still appear try typing "sudo apt-get -f install" from the command line and see what it says.

If that doesn't help try "sudo apt-get install dialog" because dialog is the lone dependency or sysvconfig.
