Public bug reported: Working on Ubuntu Desktop 15.04, on a Lenovo X200 laptop.
My little project that led to this: I was getting a DVB-T USB device to work, then installed the gnome-dvb-control to get EPG info. went to https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Projects/DVBDaemon?action=show&redirect=DVBDaemon and added the repository as per page "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-dvb-daemon" to get the latest version to hopefully recognise the Avermedia A800 device. It was incorrectly recognising it as a DiCom. Now all this led to a Broken Package situation, as below (which is what I now need to fix): someone@system01:~$ sudo apt-get --fix-broken install Reading package lists...
