-===== Fix broken packages =====
-Sometimes the package installation or upgrading process can be broken for some reasons.
-In cases like that **DO NOT** reboot your system, try to fix it before rebooting.
-If you already rebooted the system and you cannot log in back to your account, reboot it again and run the system in **Recovery Mode**.
-Fix broken packages via **dpkg** tool - it will install all already downloaded packages:
-   dpkg --reconfigure -a
-Sometimes broken packages need more (missing) dependencies, so **dpkg** can't solve that. Use **apt-get** to fix everything what is not properly configured yet and needs some new packages to be downloaded:
-   apt-get update
-   apt-get install -f
-If you just fixed some packages after broken upgrading process, run upgrade again, to make sure that there is nothing left to be upgraded/fixed again:
-   apt-get dist-upgrade
