I am running Ubuntu 11.10. I have this error message that shows as a no-entry sign such as this.
I read the following questions on the forum:
Broken package after update: linux-headers, error brokencount >0
Dependencies not met on 12.04? duplicate
Broken package after update: linux-headers, error broken count >0
However, these point to my drive being full.
I ran df -i and got the following output:
df -i

The error message also suggests that I run sudo apt-get install -f. I don't know what that does and when I run it, it warns me that it is going to remve about 2 GB worth of stuff!
