Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Your bug report is more likely to get attention if it is made in English, since this is the language understood by the majority of Ubuntu developers. Additionally, please only mark a bug as "security" if it shows evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries or to directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Changed status to confirmed since it occured in another 2 cases. See also: bug 216954

[Amro (vastmagick)]

I am also experiencing this problem think this problem might be avoided if I just format my drive and install from the CD?

Hi Guys,

I must confess that I'm totally new to Linux, but I've solved the Problem in 5 Minutes ;). Maybe it helps other People, who also struggle with this error :

First open a terminal and type "sudo synaptic". In the opening Window search for human-theme (it's alphabetical order), mark it and choose the menu option "package/force version". Now force Version 0.9 or 0.11 and after that you choose "apply" and the missing dependencies get installed. Now you must restart the system (ubuntu informs you with an infow window about that) and after the reboot you can type "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" in the terminal an everything is fine. The update is working and you are up-to-date and your luck is just another restart away ;P !!!
