I'm receiving this error after my PC crash while installing some programs :

'Error:BrokenCount>0'
An error occurred. Please run the Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies."

I tried : 

sudo apt-get update

without receiving any error messages. Then I tried

sudo apt-get -f install

and I got this :
