Joseph: sudo apt-get install -f sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update I tried your 3 commands from the terminal and they seem to have worked for now. I am able to install new software packages without getting any errors.
Thank you for your help, if I run into any more problems I will send an email. Steven Fick.
