I am getting the error like: 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 And the details are like this: Code: The following packages have unmet dependencies: bind9: Depends: libbind9-80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.10 is installed Depends: libdns81 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: libisc83 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: libisccc80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: libisccfg82 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: liblwres80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: bind9utils (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed bind9-host: Depends: libbind9-80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.10 is installed Depends: libdns81 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: libisc83 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: libisccfg82 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: liblwres80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed dnsutils: Depends: libbind9-80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.10 is installed Depends: libdns81 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: libisc83 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: libisccfg82 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed Depends: liblwres80 (= 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12) but 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.12 is installed How I should go about it to resolve this.
