The error massage was:'

Error:BrokenCount>0'.

it said that

"this usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."

What to do??!?!

Make sure the repo sources are up to date and not broken:

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*     #remove repo cache
sudo apt-get update                  #renew repo cache

Try to Install the package again.

sudo apt-get install packagename

Once the package determines that you have some missing dependencies, run the following command to fix broken or missing dependencies.

sudo apt-get install -f

Above command will only download the missing dependencies if you have already installed the package.
