Error: BrokenCount > 0

---

Hi all, 
Sorry in advance because this is going to be a long post. 

I had errors in my filesystem today. Hence put up a live CD and ran fsck on that partition. 

$ sudo fsck -y /dev/sdb5

It took some time and removed some stuff but was able to log in. 

Now I'm stuck with a particular issue. My update-manager shows Error: BrokenCount > 0

Looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto

I tried 

Code:

$ sudo apt-get check

and got 

Code:

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gnome-app-install: Depends:  but it is not installed
                     Depends:  but it is not installed
  onboard: Depends:  but it is not installed
  penguintv: Depends:  but it is not installed
  python-gnome2: Depends:  but it is not installed
  update-manager: Depends:  but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

Then tried both synaptic as well as the CLI and here's the output of the same :-

Code:

~$ sudo apt-get -f install
