I updated Ubuntu from 17.04 to 17.10 and then to 18.04 and now my Python seems to be broken. Running apt-get upgrade returns the following errors:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libopencv-highgui3.1 : Depends: libopencv-videoio3.1 (= 3.1.0+dfsg1-1~exp1ubuntu3) but it is not installable
Depends: libopencv-imgcodecs3.1 but it is not installable

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Running apt --fix-broken install results in the following error:
