Update problem

[Guest]

I updated last night using muon. The process took several attempts and oddly used up all my cpu for ages. Eventually I restarted. The desktop crashed and then I get half a dozen neomuk errors.

I can do most things but I am now missing Kontact and Muon. I cannot get my email.

When I tried to reinstall Muon using apt-get install muon back I got the following message:-

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
kdegames-mahjongg-data : Depends: kmahjongg-data but it is not going to be installed
kdepim-runtime : Depends: kdepimlibs-kio-plugins but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libkgapi0 (>= 0.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
kmahjongg : Depends: kmahjongg-data (>= 4:4.10.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu12.04.2~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed
muon : Depends: libmuonprivate1 but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: muon-updater but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Why should kmahjongg stop me getting muon? How do I get my system back working as normal?

Uninstall kmahjongg then try again?

try to force install the dependency that cannot be installed...

I suggest you follow it's suggestion:
apt-get install -f

sudo apt-get -f install

should fix it ,,,,,seems to be becoming a known bug .
the same thing happened to me last night however I never restarted after the upgrade ,,,, and opened synaptic right after (for something totally unrelated ) and was informed as to the broken packages , told synaptic to fix them and it did.

I was wrong ,,,,what I did in synaptic did not fix the broken packages (kmahjongg and kmahjongg-data) I just loged back in to 12.04 and was checking for a package name in synaptic and was informed of the broken status of the packages,,,,,,so I closed it and ran a

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install

apt-get reported dependance’s were fixed and we needed to install kmahjongg-data I let it and it did ,,,,,, then just about all the upgrade got configured ,,,,,,so I guess even though dolphin was saying it was KDE-4.10 most of it was not configured yet ,,,,, O well all is good now it seams
