Linux apt-get update I get “unmet dependency error” Ubuntu 16.04












0















Why I am not able to install a few packages in my Ubuntu 16.04



If i try: sudo apt-get install update i get:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-64-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic but it is not going to be installed
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-64-generic but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: thermald but it is not going to be installed
y-ppa-manager : Depends: yad (>= 0.36.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libnotify-bin but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ppa-purge but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xterm
Depends: launchpad-getkeys (>= 0.3.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-appindicator but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-gtk2 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: xclip but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gksu but it is not going to be installed or
kdesudo but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I also tried: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/y-ppa-manager



But no use.



Please suggest.

The most basic fixe to resolve dependencies problems is to run:



sudo apt-get -f install


The -f 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 dependencie if possible, otherwise it may simply remove the package that you installed in order to resolve the problem.



Go ahead and run:



sudo dpkg --configure -a


Then run this again:



sudo apt-get -f install


If you still get the same error, remove and add the repository you just added.
Let me know how it goes.
