Hello, I recently installed Zorin OS Core 6 on my 2nd HDD(80GB) the installation was smooth and easy, no problems at all. But this one error that always pops-out when I log-in to Zorin. I have no idea what this is. I hope you guys can help me solve this problem and may explain what does it means?

The best way to deal with it is the following:

-Plug an ethernet cable to your laptop/pc so as to get internet. (not through wifi)
-Restart and from the grub menu choose the recovery mode (usually second option).
-From the new menu that will appear choose "dpkg" and let it run.

This will update your system and fix the broken packages, if any.
Then boot again back to your desktop and see if this corrected the problem.

Is it okay, because I only check the 'Important security updates' and
'Recommended updates'. Will this be fine ? I only choose the two.
