I got an error icon above my menu bar. When I click on it I get three options with some details. It says

An error occurred please run package manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in terminal to see what's wrong.
The error message was: 'Error:brokencount>0'.
This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies"

I tried apt-get in terminal, with commands and options it says 

See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual pages for more information and options. This APT has Super Cow Powers.

When I tried to update my system it failed to update and showed this error message:

The package is broken

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
steam-launcher: Depends: curl but it is not installed
                Depends: jockey-common but it is not installed
                Depends: libc6 (>= 2.15) but 2.15-0ubuntu20 is installed

sudo apt-get install steam-launcher This command should install steam-launcher and the dependencies that needs. If you continues with problem maybe you can try using sudo apt-get install -f steam-launcher

  • by trying this command sudo apt-get install steam-launcher I got this error Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree

Try in a terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade

It should update package list, remove any unnecessary packages, fix broken packages and manage dependencies.

  • it seems you have many problems with packages. you should try changing the mirror you are using to main, and update again. – ttoine Mar 21 '13 at 12:13
