Broken Dependencies!

Post by crazyfury »

Hi I'm pretty new to the Linux scene, so far it's going great. Except I need help with a Broken Dependency. It occurs when I try to install web browsers such as Opera or any other web based apps. I need assistance.
It asks me to run gksudo synaptic or sudo apt-get install -f in a terminal to fix this error. I go ahead and run the terminal option instead of the gksudo synaptic. I receive this. The problem isn't solved. Please help. Thanks guys :D

hey so i got that error to what you do is open up your terminal windows by going in the menu and clicking on terminal or right clicking on a windows and click open in terminal then you type in the first option which is: gksudo synaptic, it will prompt you for your password enter it click OK. The manager will open up. There are 5 buttons they are: Section, Status, Origin, Custom Filters, Search Results you click on the custom filters one. Then on top there is a mini window what you click on is broken and to the right of it there will be your broken packages, you click on one press ctr-a(at least on my computer) this will select all the packages you right click on one then you choose mark for complete removal then a window will pop up click on mark and then on the toolbar in the synaptic package manager there is a button called apply click it. Another windows will open up click apply. Then it will remove those broken dependency's and you can happily install other deb files.

-Hope this helps

Not sure what you are trying to do here but you appear to be about to remove most of the system. Please provide more details of mint version and desktop and the command you are running.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

What I am trying to do is fix the broken dependencies since they won't let me install apps or update. The two packages with errors is gvfs:i386 and libgudev-1.0-0:i386. My mint version as of now is the Linux 13 cinnamon. Desktop Details: Memory: 4GB Processor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 885 Processor x 4 Graphics card: GeForce 9800 GTX+/PCIe/SSE2 OS:64-bit. I am just using the default terminal that comes preinstalled if that's the command you are talking about.

Quick question, where did you download Opera from?

I tried downloading it from the software manager which looks like a star. That didn't work so I tried getting it from the official site. Downloading the default linux one and that didn't install because it said there was broken dependencies.
