I am facing a problem while installing any program. I get an error of Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1). Following is log of the output of apt-get -f install. Any idea what's wrong with my package manager?

The number namespace in-between is configurable by system installer and/or

01_otheros, 11_otheros, etc, depending on the position you want it to occupy in

the menu; and then adjust the default setting via /etc/default/grub.
