Public bug reported:
I have this notification that says:
**
An error occured, please run Package Manager from the right click menu or
apt-get from the terminal
to see what is wrong.
The error message was:'Error: BrokenCount > 0'. This usually means that your
installed packages have unmet dependancies
**
I ran the 'sudo apt-get --qq upgrade' on the terminal and it returned:
**
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
**
I copy-pasted the recommendation 'apt --fix-broken install' into the terminal
and got this back:
**
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission
denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are
you root?
**
I do have root privileges on my machine but beyond this point what am I
meant to do as I really don't wanna mess with anything else without
proper guidance.
** Affects: qt4-x11 (Ubuntu)
