Opening a Terminal and issuing the command:

Re: Dependecy resolution failed.

Failed update.

In a console, type:

sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudp apt-get update

The first three commands will clean out the downloaded packages in /var/cache/apt/archives and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial and the last command updates the cache.
