Bug Description
This package is one of several that were not installing as usual in the terminal. I used sudo apt-get -f install "about 5 or 6 pkgs'
The output errors instructed me to use the -f option to install the problematic packages specifically so I did.
I wish I knew more about programming because I would love to help resolve errors like this. I will soon be starting 3 College classes all for Computer Tech so I suppose I will be able to help soon enough.
Thank you very much to anyone who reads this report and is involved with anything open-source. I love how the Linux Community represents and pretty much knocks out Microsoft. hahaha
Much Love--
