I'm using ubuntu 10.10 and recently my package manager has stopped working because of some problems with dependencies or something. I can't upgrade, install or uninstall anything at all. This is a huge problem. I couldn't find a solution to this with google so I'm asking here for help.

This is what apt-get -f install outputs

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 sudo apt-get install -f

After this operation, 0B of additional disk space will be used.
