I'm attempting to update this Lucid/10.04 laptop from the original
install of KDE (Trinity) 3.5.11 to Trinity 3.5.13
After some 'strange' results in the massive
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
processing with the 3.5.13 PPAs, I've got a problem with
this:
====================================================
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
kpowersave-kde3: Depends: kpowersave-trinity but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Well, ya, ok, I'll try that:

How do I fix this and move on? `kpowersave` is a wee bit important to
the functioning of this laptop. :-)
Thanks in advance.
