i'm still quite new to working in the terminal in linux. Downloaded the icedtea package to be able to use a secure web portal to lo set up remote desktop with my machine at work. i got the web portal to work & logged in successfully but have had the dpkg error ever since. i tried to remove the offending icedtea pacakge but that failed. i've run apt- get remove and apt-get install-f but come back to the same error. i guess i'll have to wait for an update fix though package installer fails as does software updater. In the ubunut software center it detects the error but then just goes into a repeating loop of detecting the error trying to repair it & having the package installer fail again. All i could do is close it out. It says the package system is broken, says to remove any third party packages & run agp-get install -f. i'm at a loss. Will watch for updates. Thank you. djl
