Bug description:
  received the an error message today when attempting to run software
  updater:

   E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
  caused by held packages.

  when running 'apt-get -f remove' in terminal I got this: 
  dpkg: error processing bandwidthd:i386 (--remove):
   Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
   reinstall it before attempting a removal.

  when running 'apt-get -f install' in terminal I got this: 
  You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
  The following packages have unmet dependencies.
   bandwidthd:i386 : Depends: ucf:i386 but it is not installable
  E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
