[Lee Kennedy]

Public bug reported:

received the an error message today when attempting to run software
updater:

 E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.

when running 'apt-get -f remove' in terminal I got this: 
dpkg: error processing bandwidthd:i386 (--remove):
 Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
 reinstall it before attempting a removal.

when running 'apt-get -f install' in terminal I got this: 
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 bandwidthd:i386 : Depends: ucf:i386 but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

running 12.04lts
