Some packages failed to repair after reinstalling 12.10

Question

I reinstalled Ubuntu 12.10. It was not clean reinstall, since I wanted to save my personal files. However, since then, apport message keeps popping out about packages that failed to install, and cannot be installed for some reason.

I tried to look on other forums, but did not find any answers to this problem.

Just today I realized, I cannot even install some programs (such as VLC,..) from Software Center.

How can I get rid of them and reinstall them, so the system works fine again?

It is saying that it will be installed, but nothing happens

     Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.3.3) ale 1:1.2.7.dfsg-13 

Does anybody knows solution to this? Thank you

Try using the following commands (one at a time) in a terminal :

sudo dpkg --configure -a  
sudo apt-get install -f
