    [SOLVED] Broken/Unmet dependencies

    I have a serious problem. I have two broken dependecies and when I try to fix them with package manager, everything, I mean everything will be removed. I cannot install or update anything until the broken dependencies are fix. Even when I try using "apt-get install" to reinstall the broken dependencies.

    Is there a way of fixing this problem.

    Have you tried to install any package?
    Execute this
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install htop
    Which packages are marked as broken?

    * htop is a very good process manager. Execute htop command after installating it.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgcc1: Depends: gcc-4.2-base (= 4.2.1-5ubuntu4) but 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 is to be installed
  libstdc++6: Depends: gcc-4.2-base (= 4.2.1-5ubuntu4) but 4.2.3-2ubuntu7 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

    and when I try
    Code:
    apt-get -f install

    Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
    Code:
    cat /etc/lsb-release
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Did you upgrade Gutsy or is it a fresh install?
    Something is wrong with sources. Post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file.
    Code:
    less /etc/apt/sources.list
