[ubuntu] unable to update libreoffice or software center

http://ubuntuforums.org – So I just set up Ubuntu on an old hdd that I found. I was in another computer that broke and it was larger then the one I had in a laptop so I swapped them out. I just done doing the full install but now I can not open the software center. I keep getting an error about a package needing to be repaired first. I try to repair it but it will not work. I think it has something to do with libreoffice not updating. I have the update "office productivity suite - arch-independent files" waiting to install. When I try to install I get this error: The following packages have unmet dependenci (Hardware)

I had a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and after installing Gfx Card Drivers, I tried installing Ubuntu-Restricted-Extras, which due to lack of time, I cancelled in between.

Now, I'm getting this error when I try to install anything.

Actually, I did try with force install/upgrade option, but that error won't go away.

Hi community,

I am new to Linux and Ubuntu and I think I ran into a big problem: With update manager I tried to update several files, but it did not work because the perl-base file always failed to install. So I tried Synaptics, which updated all other files, but failed with the perl-base as well.
