Right now I see

Unable to correct dependencies, some packages cannot be installed
That should be

The two commas in the original join indpendent clauses; they should be
periods or semi-colons. The last line lacks a period at the end.
Hmm, I guess this is an issue for the underlying package; I'm not sure
if that's dpkg or apt.

P.S. In general, where should issues that come up in install, but are
derived from other packages, be reported? Another issue I ran into
was that my clock got reset. The computer's clock was on the correct
local time. I told the time zone setup (not sure what package that
is) to use UTC. My time ended up 8 hours later, I think. I'm in
California, 8 hours ahead of UTC. I'm not sure there's a good
solution to the problem, however.
