Bug Description
Have tried every way to fix the problem from synaptic to aptitude (aptitude seems to want to remove about 243 packages to fix the 1 broken package(which by the way functions as a program)) I tried to run it's solution but it fails and closes down.
I tried to run dpkg --remove --force-
`Depends' field, invalid package name
I cannot run any upgrades or install or remove other packages with any of the package systems because of this one broken file. At this point it is fine for me to be without brasero since I have other options--
trying to run:
apt-get install -f
