apt-get check failed after running sudo apt-get install

cn flag

I had an error msg from software updater about broken packages which told me to run sudo apt-get install -f. When I did, it ended with another error message `apt-get check` failed, you may have broken packages. Aborting… Here’s the whole log, do I have a problem, or need to do anything else? (System seems to be working, LibreOffice and Firefox run OK) Thanks for any help or advice.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
