    cant install new updates

    i cant install any updates to kubuntu 9.10
    either through KPackageKit or the konsole
    Kpackage will continually ask me to install the same updates over and over again, and konsole shows the following:

    Code:
    samuel@Samuel-Kubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

    You might want to try this advice. I can't vouch for it because I haven't had the problem, but it looks reasonable. On the other hand, you are messing with important system files, so PLEASE don't neglect the initial backup steps.
