Also, now Update Manager will not work. I get a "Not all updates can be installed" error message. There are two options - "Partial Upgrade" and "Close". I did not try Partial Upgrade, clicking Close bring up another error dialog "Software Index is broken. It is impossible to install or remove any software. ........run sudo apt-get install -f". When try that in a terminal, it just tries to remove vsftpd, and fails with the same messages.
