I was installing Google Earth from a package, and my power went out in mid-way. When I power on my computer a pop up comes saying system problem detected. Now I cannot install ANYTHING, no updates, missing plugins, open up software center, nothing.

In the notification area an error message comes stating the following:

An error occurred, Please run package manager from the right click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong.

The error message was:

'Unknown Error:'(lessthansign)type'Exceptions.SystemError'>' (E: The package google-earth-stable:i386 needs to be re installed, but I can't find an archive for it.)This usually means that your installed package have unmet dependencies

I am really up set: here are the technical details:

Try this:

In a terminal window, ( will open one for you) type 

 sudo apt-get -f update

You will be asked for your password. When that's done, type 

`sudo apt-get -f upgrade`.

You won't be asked for your password. Watch for error messages. Let us know if that solves it.
