The Update Manager fails to update properly

Hello,

This is a great bug that sometimes happens. In order to resolve this issue,

• Go to Accessories >> Terminal.
• Run the following commands:

sudo aptitude update

sudo aptitude -f install

• Also, this commands should also work:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get -f install

This command will install a package that will help you remove broken packages and outdated packages that aren’t necessary for the system any more.

sudo apt-get autoremove
