Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
tetex-bin: Depends: tetex-base (>= 3.0-4) but it is not going to be installed
texlive-latex-base: Depends: texlive-pdfetex but it is not going to be installed
Conflicts: tetex-bin but 3.0-27ubuntu1.2 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
otarasenko@helland:~$


Have a question. How to remove all installed packages to start installing them from scratch. To avoid dependency problems

Thanks

Re: Kubuntu from scratch

Running

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

should resolve most dependency issues.

If you're running Hardy, the repository might just be being updated, so some packages are already the new version and some aren't. Try installing the same thing a bit later
