Ubuntu fix dependency problems
I am having dependency problems, whenever I do an apt-get install
, I get this error message:
http://pastebin.com/dFnAgyK1
I already tried:
-
apt-get clean
,update
,upgrade
,install -f
dpkg --configure -a
What should I do now?
Solution 1:
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ sid main
is a repository for the Debian OS, not Ubuntu. You should not be using this repository. Here's what you can do:
-
sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bk
- This is to backup your
sources.list
file.
- This is to backup your
-
Open up
/etc/apt/sources.list
with your favorite editor, and delete everything, and repopulate it with the proper, default repositories. Here's how you'll get them:- Go here: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
- Select your country and release.
- Select everything in the "Ubuntu Branches" box.
- Select everything in the "Ubuntu Updates" box except for the "Proposed" options.
- Select everything in the "Ubuntu Partner Repos" box.
- Select everything in the "Ubuntu Extras Repos" box.
- Scroll down to the very bottom and hit Generate List.
- Copy the output of the first box into your
sources.list
file and save it.
-
Run the following commands in order:
sudo apt-get clean sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -f sudo dpkg -a --configure sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
You'll probably get some errors along the way.
apt-get install -f
should try to fix most issues, but I suspect that it won't fix everything.dpkg
will try to further configure the packages, althoughapt-get install -f
should call it by default. The last command is to fully upgrade your system, including the linux kernel, which is what you're having problems with from the logs you posted. I suggest you, again, run these commands after everything is done:sudo apt-get install -f sudo dpkg -a --configure
Solution 2:
Try this command. It helped me.
apt remove package_name
and hit Enter
Then try to install whatever you want
