Problems with updates due to dependencies
0
I cannot update anything or install new software because of problems with the dependencies. The terminal suggest to run apt-get -f install. After trying this, there is a problem saying that it failed to correct efficiencies. Then it says:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
update-notifier : Depends: update-notifier-common (= 3.168.9) but 3.168.8 is installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
I have tried some of the solutions to similar problems posted in here but all have been futile. One of them said to look at the log file and try to remove the "broken" packages... but my log file was blank...
** UPDATE **
I ran the command sudo apt-cache policy update-notifier update-notifier-common This was the output:
update-notifier:

Please also state your release of Ubuntu. Your package versions forupdate-notifier-commonthat clash are not the correct versions for Ubuntu xenial (16.04) as shown in packages.ubuntu.com/… so it looks like you aren't using Ubuntu, or if using Ubuntu don't update or you've replaced your official sources with unofficial & thus this is your issue. I'd suggest checking your sources, and telling us what you actually are running.

Please add the command & output ofapt-cache policy update-notifier update-notifier-commonto your question. Your problem I still believe is sources; changes made since install. We can't view what changes you've made to /etc/apt/sources.list* files, but this command will at least provide sources for those two packages.

issue these in a terminal ( ctrl+alt+t )
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get --fix-missing install
sudo dpkg --configure --pending
sudo dpkg -C # audit - check for broken packages
it should comb out any tangles in the dependency manager ... post errors if this fails to fully resolve
UPDATE - issue this to see what you have installed
dpkg -l|grep update-notifier
now get them re-installed

Please also state your release of Ubuntu. Your package versions for
update-notifier-commonthat clash are not the correct versions for Ubuntu xenial (16.04) as shown in packages.ubuntu.com/… so it looks like you aren't using Ubuntu, or if using Ubuntu don't update or you've replaced your official sources with unofficial & thus this is your issue. I'd suggest checking your sources, and telling us what you actually are running.– guiverc

@guiverc I am using Ubuntu xenial 16.04.4 LTS .

Are you using any PPAs or 'newer' repositories?

Please add the command & output of
apt-cache policy update-notifier update-notifier-commonto your question. Your problem I still believe is sources; changes made since install. We can't view what changes you've made to /etc/apt/sources.list* files, but this command will at least provide sources for those two packages.– guiverc

@guiverc I have edited the question adding the command & output that you sugested. Thank you.
