Public bug reported:

I really do not know what program had the problem.  I get an error
message when I log into my Ubuntu account.  So, I just tried to update
software, as usual, but got a message that it could not do it.  So, I do
not know how to solve this problem.

The Software Updater error says, 
The Package System is Broken.  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.

Then in addition to this there is another pop-up window that says,
Crash Report
The application software updater has closed unexpectedly.
Send an error report to fix this problem
Ignore future problems of this program version.

So, now what should I do?
