"apt-get -f install" will install and/or remove applications in order to get all the installed applications in a consistent state (with all required dependencies installed). It should only be needed if you've installed/removed applications manually (especially using dpkg). I suspect that Application Manager will fail to install/remove any applications until after you do this.
