I recently rebuilt my system and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04. Now, everything I try to install returns the following errors. I have tried installing the troubled packages but I get the same errors. Any thoughts?

Code:

sudo dpkg --force-{depends,depends-version}  --configure -a

Or:

Code:

sudo apt-get -f install #with nothing after the 'install' command

I wasn't sure what to do with depends in the first command but below are the results for the second.
