Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to report your problem.
One possible cause of unmet dependencies could be corrupted package
database, and/or some packages weren’t installed properly. To fix this
problem, hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal and try to run one of the
following commands:
sudo apt-get clean
or,
sudo apt-get autoclean
apt-get clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files
(the .deb files). It removes everything but the lock file from
/var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.
apt-get autoclean clears out the local repository of retrieved package
files, but unlike apt-get clean, it only removes package files that can
no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless.
One of the most basic fixes to resolve dependencies problems is to run:
sudo apt-get -f install
The -f hare stands for “fix broken”. Apt will attempt to correct broken
dependencies. If you manually installed a package that had unmet
dependencies, apt-get will install those dependencies, if possible,
otherwise it may simply remove the package that you installed in order
to resolve the problem.
Then run:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Then run this again:
sudo apt-get -f install
If the output is:
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
That means it failed.
Please let us know by updating this bug when you've attempted the above.
