  • Welcome to AskUbuntu! Could you please clean this post to make it a little more readable? There are some extra spaces making it harder to view the error reports. This seems to be dependency hell however. A tool like synaptic may help in the process of solving the dependency problems.

  • Can you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

    I get the same error mentioned above. Running those commands together does little to solve the problem. E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

  • dist-upgrade alone gives same error. I am going to be at the colo in a weeks time to reformat it if this persists, I am hoping its not neccesary
