Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
[intrepid] fully upgraded/updated
When a package is broken a poor dialog message come in front to the user
"You have 1 broken package on your system!"
Use the "Broken" filter to locate it.
Casual user can't know what is "Broken" filter there is no reference to synaptic package or other info available.
I think must be more information on this warning message.
Thank you

Thanks for your bugreport.
The current version of update-manager should be able to deal with a lot of broken package, could you please run:
$ sudo apt-get install -f
so that I can see what particular issue your system has (but please do not apply the changes, press "n").
update-manager should kick into a recovery mode. Maybe attach a gziped version of your /var/lib/ dpkg/status file as well.
Thanks,
Michael
