try:

sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If there are any errors, paste them here for us to diagnose.

hey for me it says this on my program :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'.

wat do i do????

well its given you 2 commands to execute in the error output. Did you try those?

Can you please run:

gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

and give us the content of the file as an update.

Can you help with this problem?
