Bug Description
I installed the ubuntu desctop earler this afternoon and clicked in the cog and clicked the updates available, it updated around 100 or so updates and there is one what wont update...(after restart)...
the update manager wont let me continue ... it is already downloaded but wont install.
It wont let me access the software center..it says ...
items canot be installed or removed until the package catalog is repared. Do you want to repair it now?
Once update manager has finished the repairs, you can close it and return to the dtore. [Cancel] [Repair]
after clicking repair i get this....

.. but didnt work..
i cant install any downloads from the app center
this is the update i am trying to get...
.......
This package contains the Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP.
Also includes the corresponding System.map file, the modules built by the packager, and scripts that try to ensure that the system is not left in an unbootable state after an update.
Supports Generic processors.
Geared toward desktop and server systems.
You likely do not want to install this package directly. Instead, install the linux-generic meta-package, which will ensure that upgrades work correctly, and that supporting packages are also installed.
.......
after trying some fixes i still get this.....
.......
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-
.......
My cache just updated.... just going to try to install again....
.......
The package system is broken
Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-
This is also under the "important security updates section" so if it is a security issue it will need a fix.
many thanks 72retro.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
