Comment 4 for bug 1176951

I am experiencing problem symptoms which lead me to believe I am also experiencing this bug or a nearly similar one.

as apt-get is telling me I have broken packages, (your packages, Damien Cassou) I ran:

praxis-Lenovo-G580 ~ # apt-get install --fix-broken
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  liblcms1:i386 xsel
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded.
2 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
