apt-get install -f held packages

Question

I am having trouble upgrading the packages in my Ubuntu system. I followed the solution in the question here by using it I was able to troubleshoot the error I was encountering while doing dpkg --configure -a by removing the broken packages from the file in /var/lib/dpkg/status but now after doing apt-get install -f I get the following error. Please Help.

I dont know because will removing the below packages from the file will cause any problem in my system.

apt-get install -f

Answer 1

The problem was caused due to symlink so I created one using the command

ln -sf /etc/initramfs-tools/modules.AfterVMwareToolsInstall /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

then

mv /etc/initramfs-tools/modules{,BAK}; sudo touch /etc/initramfs-tools/modules

then

dpkg --configure -a 

and

apt-get -f install

It was a problem related to VMware module.
