Cannot apply mint updates

Post by venom104 »

whenever I try and apply the updates in update manager I get a message saying "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages first". I don't know what would be causing this because whenever I check synaptic package manager and use the broken filter I see absolutely nothing there.

Am I doing something wrong?

I tried disabling the updates for wine in the update manager, this allowed the other updates to go through...I have the wine ppa installed from winehq.org...how can I remove it and what could be causing the problem?
