It's related to psensor. How do I remove it?

Re: You have 1 broekn file
sometimes you can fix broken packages just by opening Synaptic, then going to Edit in the Menu, and Down to Fix broken packages (at the bottom of the Edit Menu).
Then do it again for luck.
Then try again to reinstall psensors.
Sometimes the Broken packages error is caused by some other package you are removing at the same time, or something you have installed that psensors either needs, or conflicts with.
Highlight (select) psensors in Synaptic, and scroll through the window. The conflicting packages might appear in RED.
If Synaptic can;t fix them you can also try these commands from a Terminal (after closing Synaptic):
If none of that works you'll have to start looking through the /etc/apt/sources.list Which will need a whole other reply..
