  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
  The following packages have unmet dependencies:
   gconf2 : Depends: gconf-service (= 3.2.6-1)
   ia32-libs : Depends: ia32-libs-i386
   libc6 : Breaks: locales (&lt; 2.17)
   libgconf2-4 : Depends: libgconf-2-4 (= 3.2.6-1) but 3.2.6-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

  <p>is the locales package broken? then i use <code>apt-get -f install</code>:</p>
