Ubuntu Software Center not working; says the package catalog needs repair
It says the package catalog needs repair. I tried with this command "sudo apt-get install -f" But it says unable to correct dependencies. Why is that?

Try running sudo dpkg --configure -a from a Terminal.

I just had the same problem, this is what fixed it for me:
Open your terminal and write these lines:
sudo ldconfig sudo apt-get check sudo apt-get update(Till this moment it kept giving me the same error)
sudo apt-get -f upgrade --fix-missing(And after this ^ line, the problem was solved)
