APT Error. Context:

Question

APT Error. Context:    Package download failed,     Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Kubuntu      Unbutu 8.04 (?)     KDE  4.X (?)     Typical of Linux difficult to find out anything without a plug-in to one's brain direct from OS !!  How do I get rid of broken packages, if need to remove? The error message confuses and leaves much to desire while being left in the lurch.  Please advise.

try
apt-get update

it will attempt to resynchronize the debs that you have.

apt-get upgrade

may help you sort out problems with the data sources (suppliers) of deb packages on your system.

apt-get clean

may help as well.

All documentation can be seen by opening up a terminal session and typing

man apt-get

Good luck, and hang in there.
