[EdLUG] The Error When Updating

[Edinburgh Linux Users Group]

Hi Andrew

That doesn't look like it is very forthcoming with information....

You'll have to open a Terminal to have a look

Please try the following ; if it errors out, please copy/paste the last 50
lines or so of output from the commands :

sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get upgrade

"install -f" is shorthand for "fix broken packages", which attempts to
repair previously failed installation and upgrade attempts.
