The installation or removal of a software package failed.

EDIT: error:

1Can you give more details as to this error? This is VERY general here. – Simon Sheehan – 2011-10-20T22:29:36.273

1try sudo apt-get update – Paul – 2011-10-20T22:44:51.670

it just seems to donwnload files and not do anything... – hagope – 2011-10-21T17:31:21.040

update won't do anything itself, other than update what you need to upgrade. Now do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade – Rob – 2011-10-21T17:39:42.337
