Public bug reported:

This package is one of several that were not installing as usual in the
terminal. I used sudo apt-get -f install "about 5 or 6 pkgs'

The output errors instructed me to use the -f option to install the
problematic packages specifically so I did.

I wish I knew more about programming because I would love to help
resolve errors like this. I will soon be starting 3 College classes all
for Computer Tech so I suppose I will be able to help soon enough.

Thank you very much to anyone who reads this report and is involved with
anything open-source. I love how the Linux Community represents and
pretty much knocks out Microsoft. hahaha

Much Love--
