Running 14.04 and the Software updater keeps giving this message: Package operation failed. The installation or removal of a software package failed. I tried updating via the terminal and received same message. Any ideas anyone?

Install 'synaptic package manager' in the repository(software center).
Open Synaptic
Click 'custom filters' on the bottom left
Select 'broken'
Highlight all broken packages and mark for complete removal.
Let me know if this helps!
You can also try the following:
Open terminal
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
If neither of those options resolve the issue, I would install bleachbit and clean up your system.
Get the latest version here:
http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/download/linux
After installing bleachbit open terminal
sudo bleachbit
The program will start
Under APT select all options
Under DEEP SCAN select all options except thumbs.db
Under SYSTEM select all options except free disk space and trash
Click 'preview' and then click 'delete'
If none of the above works you can try the following:
Open terminal
sudo apt-get install ntrack-module-libnl-0 --reinstall
