Failed to check for installed and available applications

I received this error message when I tried to access the 'Add/Remove applications' tool.
"Failed to check for installed and available applications
This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'."
There is also an error message on the task bar.
"An error occurred. Please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was 'Error:Broken Count>0'. This usually means that your installed package have unmet dependencies."
What should I do?
You should provide some information, like the list of broken packages or what you have tried to install prior to the failure. Also, the aforementioned command
sudo apt-get install -f
does the trick most of the time but it's always the best solution to revert/remove the problematic packages manually.
Open Synaptic and select Edit > Fix Broken Packages from the menu. Apply changes.
This does not always work since Synaptic can refuse to start until the problem is sorted out, but it's an option too.
Hello,
Sorry for not providing enough information. My hard disk was full when the error appeared. After resizing the hard disk's partition and running the "sudo apt-get install -f" command, the problem was resolved. I can now access the applications manager.
Thanks everyone.
