Unhandled error shown while setting up software from Ubuntu

Hello experts,

I want to set up software from Ubuntu, but it shows the following error:

An unhandled error happened –

There looks to be a programming error message in aptdaemon. Also, this software allows you to set up/remove software as well as to do other package managing related tasks.

Details:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 961, in simulate

    trans.unauthenticated = self._simulate_helper(trans)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptdaemon/worker.py", line 1085, in _simulate_helper

    return depends, self._cache.required_download,

  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/apt/cache.py", line 226, in required_download

    pm.get_archives(fetcher, self._list, self._records)

SystemError: E:I wasn't able to locate file for the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package. This might mean one needs to manually fix this package.

I need to solve this. Please help.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Tonijohsston,

Thanks for your explainer  question  which help me to understand the problem easily. You know as Ubuntu is an open source program all the commands are available at net. To solve your problem you have to execute some lines in the terminal

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install

Now you can set up your software easily.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.
