A package is considered broken when there are some dependancy-related
problems. You can fix broken packages by upgrading, downgrading,
installing, placing on hold, or removing packages. As you are using
aptitude, you can easily find the broken packages by entering ~b into
the search dialog. After going into the broken package's information,
look for any depends or conflicts lines that are listed in red. Then
resolve the dependancies.
