I recently installed Ubuntu 12.04, but now updates will not install. This is the error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

linux-image-generic-lts-saucy: Depends: linux-image-3.11.0-19-generic but it is not installed

I have tried several of the terminal commands listed among the AskUbuntu answers, but get:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 - Permission denied)
E: unable to lock the administration directory

The apt-get -f install doesn't fix the problem.

I am not a code monkey, so would someone please help me? Thank you.

Try doing sudo apt-get install <packages>.

This usually solves most of the Permission Denied problems.
