This red icon.... It showed up after I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04LTS; I can't figure out how to ditch it. It seems to be a notification thing. I am at a loss. The icon is this one:

red mark

I clicked it and read this:

An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was:
'Error: BrokenCount>0'. 
This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies.

It's letting you know that the package system is in a broken state (eg. some of the packages are in a broken state). You can try to resolve this by running the following command in a terminal.

sudo apt-get -f install
