In linux mint, I solved the problem via first:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

then:

sudo apt-get upgrade

Just hit one command in the terminal to fix that problem:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

And the problem will be solved.

It is saying

Package gconf2 is not configured yet.

Have you tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure gconf2? If that doesn't work, try sudo apt-get remove --purge gconf2 && sudo apt-get install gconf2.

These two commands can fix some package-management issues:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
