Jörg, I think I may have messed up my chances of getting the output you are looking for. I followed the instructions at: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141370/how-to-fix-a-broken-package-when- apt-get-install-f-does-not-work
In particular: ----------------------------------------------------- I fixed my issue using this command: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite path-to-the-deb-file If --force-overwrite doesn't work, try: sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite-all path-to-the-deb-file ------------------------------------------------------ It now works and the packages have installed. But here's my output anyway: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root 893G 193G 655G 23% / none 4,0K 0 4,0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 12G 12K 12G 1% /dev tmpfs 2,4G 1,2M 2,4G 1% /run none 5,0M 0 5,0M 0% /run/lock none 12G 152K 12G 1% /run/shm none 100M 44K 100M 1% /run/user /dev/sda1 228M 86M 130M 40% /boot /dev/sdb1 235G 70G 154G 32% /media/william/634a88b0-aa68-4f38-a3d3-70b7148f53d9 [1]+ Done ./mmscript william@william-K95VM:~/Downloads$ df -i Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root 59465728 864201 58601527 2% / none 3071962 2 3071960 1% /sys/fs/cgroup udev 3069339 549 3068790 1% /dev tmpfs 3071962 585 3071377 1% /run none 3071962 4 3071958 1% /run/lock none 3071962 6 3071956 1% /run/shm none 3071962 27 3071935 1% /run/user /dev/sda1 124496 273 124223 1% /boot /dev/sdb1 15630336 1126538 14503798 8% /media/william/634a88b0-aa68-4f38-a3d3-70b7148f53d9 william@william-K95VM:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get clean [sudo] password for william: william@william-K95VM:~/Downloads$ sudo apt-get install -f Reading package lists...
