I cant install any software, keeps throwing error
I can't install any program or software, for example I tried Dropbox from their official web. When i try install using sudo dpkg -i
, it won't let me because there are dependencies error.

A dependency error is not a system error. The system is trying to tell you (the human) that you have instructed it to do something unwise or impossible. Since you have not provided any details yet, we cannot determine what mistake you made.

Probably unmet dependencies error, in that caseapt-get -f install
should fix it. And yeah, he needs to paste the full error.

We don't know what those error refer to, unless you paste the code to here. Please do that..
However, you mention the error has to do with dependencies, in that case try running apt-get -f install
.
sudo apt-get -f install
: The-f
option stand for--fix-broken
, meansapt
will attempt to--fix
ing unmet
dependencies by satisfy them.

If you prefer GUI, there's also gdebi
which install .deb
file (and the required dependencies), I've been using this tools for year and never failed me.
sudo apt-get install gdebi
