How to Find and Fix Broken Packages

  1. Open your terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T on your keyboard and enter: sudo apt –fix-missing update.
  2. Update the packages on your system: sudo apt update.
  3. Now, force the installation of the broken packages using the -f flag.

How do you fix the following packages have unmet dependencies?

Type in sudo aptitude install PACKAGENAME, where PACKAGENAME is the package you’re installing, and press Enter to execute it. This will try to install the package via aptitude instead of apt-get, which should potentially fix the unmet dependencies issue.
