Ubuntu – Getting the error Error:BrokenCount>0 after installing packages

aptpackage-management

I am getting the following error in the top menu bar:

An error occurred.Please run the Package Manger form the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong.The error message was:'Error:BrokenCount>0'.This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.

I tried

sudo rm -vf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

To remove all the broken package information. Then I ran

sudo apt-get update

This restored the package database.

After that I opened Ubuntu Software Center and a dialog box appeared saying that i needed to repair some broken dependencies. I clicked on the Repair button and the problem was resolved.

It's letting you know that the package system is in a broken state (eg. some of the packages are in a broken state). You can try to resolve this by running the following command in a terminal.

sudo apt-get -f install

I was also facing the same issue. Fixed the issue by following steps;

Went to Software & Updates.
Navigate to "Other Software" Tab.
Unchecked the entry "http://ppa.launchpad.net/openjdk-r/ppa/ubuntu bionic main"

Pressed the Close button.

After that, I ran following commands.

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update

Done.
