[Bug 998532] [NEW] upgrade manager failed to upgrade. when prompted, apt-get install -f

[colleen mason]

Public bug reported:

Upgrade Manager  reported updates. My attempt to upgrade failed. After
restarting it prompted me to use apt-get install f in terminal. It
failed. Would not let me do it with the pop-up window open but when I
closed it, it worked.  I received help on issue but would not have known
to do this on my own, so it would be helpful if it  allowed me to do it
with the window open.

Thanks,
Colleen Mason
