I have a wine package via a dependency from a package that gives you Silverlight and more up-to-date Adobe Flash for Linux. However, I get an error on startup of Software Center and also will repeatedly get an error icon in the top panel

enter image description here

with a message:

An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click
menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message
was: 'Unknown Error: '<class 'KeyError'>'("The cache has no package
named 'wine-staging-i386'")'. This usually means that your installed
packages have unmet dependencies

I have gotten this to go away by doing something, I thought with Synatic, but right now Synaptic Package Manager->Edit->Fix Broken Packages is not fixing it. Selecting that tells me "Successfully fixed dependency problems" but I still have the error icon in the top bar.

Per comment below:

  • Can you include output of sudo apt-get -f install? Sounds like you installed something weird from a PPA. And what do you mean by "wine package via a dependency from a package"?

  • @Richard I meant that I didn't install Wine, it came along with something else that I downloaded in order to be able to use Silverlight and/or a later version of Adobe Flash that works with DRM video. I think the package was Pipelight and it does have it's own repository: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipelight/stable

  • Try a sudo apt-get update and then the previous command again? All we really know is that you installed something, and then the package manager is giving you that error.

  • dude, you fixed the problem. I don't see any errors. What exactly are you talking about? If you are referring to the "8 not upgraded" you need to run sudo apt-get upgrade or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to upgrade (update) those 8 packages.

    I may be reading this wrong and the problem may be that software center still won't open for you with the same error. if so, try running sudo apt-get install --reinstall wine-staging-i386 you see, running sudo apt-get update updates your cache and if you have added a ppa then you need to update the cache after adding the ppa or the packages will not be listed in your cache.

You can just "resolve" this by installing all pending updates. The message will go away. It is rather annoying, but there's not much you can do about it. For more information check this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pipelight/+bug/1318321

    This solution have always worked for me. Just run sudo apt-get upgrade and the message goes away.
