[Bug 1777966] [NEW] I get a notification error saying "Error:BrokenCount>0", after running "sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade" even though a manual check for broken packages yielded no results.

[Seija Kijin]

Public bug reported:

Immediately after installing Ubuntu 18.04, I rebooted the machine,
logged into admin account, configured software update to enable the
Canonical partners repository, opened Terminal, and ran "sudo apt update
&& sudo dist-upgrade" Upon installing all packages, an error
notification appears on the menu bar saying "Error:BrokenCount>0'. This
usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependences"

When I clicked on Check for Updates, nothing happened. I went to run
"sudo apt install -f", 0 packages were installed or trained. This
indicates that the error was falsely flagged and therefore a bug.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 18.04
2. Boot into the admin account on a Xorg session
3. Open Terminal and run "sudo apt update && sudo dist-upgrade"
4. Notice that an error notification appears on the right of the menu bar on top

Rebooting the machine fixed the issue, but this bug should not happened
immediately after running Ubuntu for the first time and checking for
updates via Terminal.

The timestamp for the issue itself is Wednesday, June 20, 2018, at
around 9:30 PM, EDT.

1) Ubuntu 18.04
2) apt Installed: 1.6.1
3) Error notification is absent because no such error happened; all the dependencies and packages are properly installed.
4) I get a false error saying "BrokenCount>0" even though searching for broken packages yielded no results.
