Question #78140 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78140

    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
If you can boot into Ubuntu you fix fix broken packages from inside
Synaptic Package Manager which is well worth exploring anyway.  On the
top taskbar click on

System - Administration - Synaptic

it will ask for your normal user password, not your SuperUser/Root one.
I think the "Fix broken packages" is either in the "Edit" menu or the
"File" menu.  Synaptic is also quite powerful so you tend to have to
click "Apply" to make the actions that you have queued up actually take
place.  I like pushing it into showing me a terminal console of what
it's doing to try to get a bit of the best of both worlds, cli & gui :)

Anyway, so Ubuntu and Xp are both working now?
Nicely done, congrats and regards from
Tom :)
