Currently using Ubuntu 18.04.4 Bionic Beaver for my desktop computer. In the top right corner I received a message stating 'Error: BrokenCount >0' This usually means that your installed packages have met unmet dependencies

I tried to update my software and this comes

Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f Transaction failed: The package system is broken The following packages have unmet dependencies

  • 1) Did you run sudo apt-get -f install to fix broken packages? 2) If not, why? 3) Which Linux distro have you installed (Ubuntu server, Ubuntu desktop, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Mint, et al.), & 4) which release number?

Your output indicates a corrupted package.

In fact, your output tells you exactly which package.

Delete the corrupt package:

    sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/libjavascriptcoregtk-4.0-18_2.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1_amd64.deb

Then run sudo apt install -f again.
