Hi Frank,
Everything up to the full upgrade worked fine.
The dry-run command returned:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libffi-dev : Depends: libffi6 (= 3.2.1-4) but 3.2.1-8 is to be installed
libssl-dev : Depends: libssl1.0.0 (= 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.15) but 1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.1
is to be installed
Depends: zlib1g-dev but it is not going to be installed
python-pip : Depends: python:any (< 2.8)
Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~)
Recommends: python-all-dev (>= 2.6) but it is not going to be
installed
Recommends: python-setuptools but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: python-wheel but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I didn't attempt the actual install.
Any other ideas?
Gadi

Hi Gadi,
I 'assume' that your system and/or archive information was not up to date.
Let's go step-by-step through the following:
First of all fix the current situation with:
sudo apt install --fix-broken
or in short:
sudo apt install -f
Then I suggest to make sure that your archive information and your system is
really up to date with:
sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade
[I call it usually all at once like: "sudo apt -y -q update && sudo apt -y -q
full-upgrade"]
and optionally clean your system from packages that were automatically
installed in the past, but are no longer needed:
sudo apt autoremove --purge
Finally try again - you may try with '--dry-run' first:
sudo apt --dry-run install python-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev This should of
course not report any dependency errors ...
And in case it's fine, re-run the install:
sudo apt install python-pip libffi-dev libssl-dev
On one of my systems I just could install these packages flawlessly ...
Bye, Frank
