While I was trying to run this following :-

sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler

The error I encountered was :-

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python-sphinx : Depends: sphinx-common (= 1.3.6-2ubuntu1) but 1.3.6-2ubuntu1.1 is installed
                 Recommends: sphinx-doc but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f

Then I tried :-

sudo apt-get -f install

And again error was :-

Suggest how to get rid of this error.

  • Is python-minimal package installed. Note that you have "102 not fully installed or removed" which is a bit of a mess
