Question Cannot install game with software manager but can install music player!


I cannot install zero ballistics game with linux mint 15 oliva's software manager, synaptic package manager, or archive manager. I have just upgraded the repositories and my current packages with the update manager, but it wasn't working b4 that. I tried to install with the terminal(sudo apt-get install zero-ballistics) but that failed too. I installed songbird with the terminal then uninstalled it too. Whenever I press install in software manager for the game, it just doesn't install or says 1 task in process but stays at 0% progress. Also in my software manager if you double click some programs the list of packages will dim and nothing will happen, then I have to x out and go back again. Something must be wrong! I think I got an error too but I don't think I am getting it anymore(I'm not sure.) please help if you can! I you have any questions, just ask. Thanks!

"failed" is not very informative. What error do you get when you try to install it with apt-get?
