I am trying to install ffmpeg in Ubuntu 16.04 and it has a dependency package zlib1g-dev. when running sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev. I am getting the below error
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zlib1g-dev : Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4) but 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I read somewhere it might be due to a issue in sources.list. I've checked sources.list file it seems to be fine and verified with this link ( https://gist.github.com/rohitrawat/60a04e6ebe4a9ec1203eac3a11d4afc1 ) and sudo apt-get update doesn't shows any error as well. Can you please suggest. Thanks!!!
EDIT 1: I've also followed solution on this link ( E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages ) and executed sudo apt-mark showhold but it didn't print anything. So couldn't unmark anything also tried the solution with aptitude and the log by running sudo aptitude install zlib1g-dev was:
