Answer 2 :

Removing the packages list and updating solved the issue for me

Open the terminal : Ctrl+Alt+T

Remove the package list :

sudo rm -vf/var/lib/apt/lists/*

• -v, --verbose explain what is being done

• -f, --force ignore nonexistent files and arguments, never prompt

Update the packages :

sudo apt-get update

Fixing the problem with Software Center

When i encountered the same problem (not sure which application caused the problem), running Software Center gave me the option to repair dependencies (in fact it forced me to do so because it would be 'unable to install other software until the problem was fixed').it worked without problems, and the error sign in the notification area disappeared.
