I didn't connect to the internet for about a week, then when I got connected to the internet I tried to update the system. I'm running Ubuntu 13.10. It said it needs partial upgrade. When I click partial upgrade, it says that the system is up-to-date and cancels.
When I click Continue, it says software index is broken. It is impossible to install or remove any software. Please use the Synaptic package manager or run sudo apt-get install -f in the terminal to fix the issue. At first I did that.
that's the results in the terminal:
The following packages will be removed: linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic linux-image-extra-3.11.0-12-generic 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 17 not fully installed or removed. After this operation, 136 MB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? " i click y but it doesn't work .that's the outcome ...
