  • i have even tried that but it is showing amol@amol-System-Product-Name:~$ apt-get -f install E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?

  • Unless you are root, you need to add 'sudo' at the beginning of your command. Aug 19, 2013 at 2:11
  • @Vitalie Ciubotaru I have even tried that it is showing a very long list and after that there is an error E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  • So, this is embarrassing. We shouldn't have duped this to How do I resolve unmet dependencies?. The problem here is not that the package manager can't install dependencies declared by g++, but that it doesn't know about g++ at all (usually because the main repository got disabled), and so it's trying to match g++ as a pattern, selecting a long list of packages (that are not actually dependencies of g++, which should've been the clue). More info and solution here. Sep 9, 2014 at 19:51

Run

sudo apt-get update

first, then

sudo apt-get install g++
