Problems with synaptic and mint-configuration-kde

Post by giraffes_rule »

I am using linx mint 12 (MATE)

When I try to use synaptic package manager I get this error message:

"Could not apply changes!
Fix broken packages first."

BUT - there are no broken packages listed in synaptic!

It seems that mint-configuration-kde has something wrong with it. I don't use KDE much. I have a similar problem but get the following:

I don't use KDE at all, so I don't know the answer to that problem except to remove KDE (your sig says you are an Xfce user).

However I will move this topic to the KDE part of the forum, alter the title a little and maybe a regular KDE user will have an answer for you.
