[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Initially I was upgrading Ubuntu using apt-get and the upgrade of
smbclient failed. Im running ubuntu 12.04 (upgraded from 10.04). This is
an annoying error since although I never run smbclient myself an error
icon is now permanently displayed on the barat the top of my desktop:
"An error occurred. Please run Package Manager ...".

Here is the output when I retry the upgrade using apt-get -f install:

The following packages will be upgraded:
