This means that 87 packages are not fully installed. Re run apt-get
update and apt-get dist-upgrade and post the errors that occur to the
list so we can help you work through them. You can also try apt-get -f
dist-upgrade to force the apt-get to continue. In my experience you can
keep going until you get down to the final packages that won't install.
