and how do I fix it?

I recently installed Zorin 9 Core on my Acer netbook and my wife's Sony Vaio. Both installations went well, and for a couple of days all was fine. We both got notified to install updates, did so, and ever since we both get the above message repeatedly on boot.

Seaarching on the web seems to indicate this is an Ubuntu problem. Most places say the best way to fix it is to reinstall the os. That's easily done, but it surely there must be a better way. Does anyone know what the updates broke, and how I might fix it?

Open Synaptic Package Manager and select "Sources" - if not showing, set to "Main Server".

Whilst in Synaptic (just enter the word in the Win 7 Menu Search box ;) ) also go to 'Edit | Fix Broken Packages'

Keep us posted! :D
