Hello! My name is Chris, I've been using Linux for about 8 months now. I'm still trying to get the hang of things, including the vocabulary, so please excuse me if I'm unhelpfully vague with my descriptions.

I've recently used synaptic to uninstall the svn, and install the new bzn. I thought everything went well, I could run awn and it worked. Then my update manager icon appeared, and I clicked to begin the update process. I got an error that said the software index is broken, and to run "sudo apt-get install -f"

I ran it, and this was the output:

Everything looks good right? I click yes, then:

Then i tried synaptic. I chose 'fix broken packages', it tries to install libawn-bzr. I hit 'apply', and get this error:

The 'details' output isn't letting me copy and paste. The gist of it according to my quite untrained eye is:

The error looks similar to what I got when trying using apt-get, which seems consistent. I can completely type the last error message if necessary. I'm running the i386 Ubuntu 7.04 with gnome, compiz fusion.
