synaptic error

[spinyshooter]

well i've been using mint for a month and a half and had no problems with synaptic. I use it a lot, and it worked. 2 days ago when i went to install software it lets me choose what to do, and then installs the program. then at the end i get

E: dbus: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
E: dbus-1-utils: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured


and whatever i tried to install doesn't work. it has been this way for all the programs i try to install consistantly since it started

anyone got any ideas?
also you guys can get me on aim (same name) if a lot of correspondence will be needed

Reinstall dbus and dbus-1-utils (from synaptics)
If that does not solve it try:

Code: Select all

dpkg --configure -a

in a terminal - you must be root
If that doesn't solve it post back with as much info as you can gather
But it says "dependency problems" so the error maybe that some package has been removed that dbus depends on
