Note: I'm an ubuntu noob

When I try to install anything, say filezilla... I get this:

I type sudo apt-get install filezilla

Type in my password

I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
filezilla : Depends: libtinyxml2.6.2 but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libwxbase2.8-0 (>= 2.8.12.1) but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libwxgtk2.8-0 (>= 2.8.12.1) but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: filezilla-common (= 3.5.3-1ubuntu2) but it is not going to      be     installed
     wine1.6 : Depends: wine1.6-amd64 (= 1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa4) but 1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1 is to be installed
           Depends: wine1.6-i386 (= 1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa4)
 wine1.6-amd64 : Depends: wine1.6:any (= 1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1)
 wine1.6-i386:i386 : Depends: wine1.6:any:i386 (= 1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~ppa1)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So I try sudo apt-get -f install:

It looks like you just need to refresh the repositories. Try:

sudo apt-get update

Then see if that makes a difference.

  • W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 2EA8F35793D8809A – Caitlann Lloyd Jul 15 '13 at 22:09
  • Hmmm...looks like a broken installation. Did you upgrade to 13.04 with an already installed system, or did you install Ubuntu fresh off the CD? If you upgraded, the upgrade probably failed at some point, or was interrupted. –  Jul 16 '13 at 16:18

I will advise this Q/A, I think your distribution upgrade didn't finish completely. you should follow the solutions on this link. Looking for the results soon...
