The normal starting point is|sudo apt-get install -f <package-name>|
|If that does not work then you can try Aptitude|
|sudo apt-get install aptitude (Aptitude is not installed) sudo aptitude
install <package-name> Aptitude will try and resolve the issue and will
possibly offer you a couple of options, choose which options suits you.
The downside to this is can break and make thing worse for you so make
sure you have backups of any data you might want to keep. Tim H |

Hi, I am running linux mint on an old laptop, but when I try to install
anything via the command line I am usually met with the error as follows:
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or
specify a solution)
What can I do to fix this problem?
