You may need to run the following from a terminal:

sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Then re-install the package or updates.

If that does not resolve your issue, please mark the bug as "Confirmed"

This was not helpful. When I enter it I'm asked for a password. I don't have a password and I have no idea what the program is actually asking for
