When I started installing the Humble Indie Bundle 5 games the software center stopped working and now I get this error.

Packages cannot be installed or removed, click here to repair. Which fails and gives these results.

I couldn't get the apt-get update or upgrade to work either so I shut off the repositories and updated / upgraded one at a time without any problems. But that didn't fix the Software Center.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

ADDED UPDATE

I've tried to install aptitude using dpkg but can't. I have also tried

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo dpkg --configure -a --force-all

and the -f options.

Though I believe this is where my problem is originating:

I hope this helps narrow it down some.

sudo apt-get --reinstall install software-center -f

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

sudo apt-get -f install doesn't work either.
