Partial update error 12.04LTS

[netwar]

Hello everyone,
I primarily use FreeBSD UNIX so I can navigate command line fairly well but I dont know all the ins-and-outs of ubuntu(Just a preface in case some horribly obvious mistake is what has happened).
My ubuntu box just this morning for no reason at all popped up the update manager saying that there was an error updating and would I like to preform a partial update.Before i tried the partial update i just wanted to check to make sure i couldn't fix it because in the past the default update manager has been a little mental.

the output from:sudo dpkg --configure -a

I haven't updated in the past four days so i have no idea why this has happened. any help is appreciated.

Okay it seems that you have versions of wine which depend on each other and 1.6 has dependency issues.

My suggestion is use the software package center to install wine if you need it. new version is 1.7.x Or if you do not need it remove it. use the below to search for this guide and I can not post a link to new to the forum.

you may want to run a

sudo apt-get install -f

 

[Dave67]

He already ran that command see below the first paragraph

the output from: sudo apt-get install -f

I suggested this because he has dependency issues with the paa packages must no have a repository enabled or added for the dependencies needed.
