Ubuntu 17.10 I tried upgrading my graphics drivers using the oibaf PPA, but it flubbed on the libdrm requirements, saying it needed 2.85, but only had 2.83. tried a --fix-broken and got this:
sudo apt --fix-broken install

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgl1-mesa-dri : Depends: libdrm-amdgpu1 (>= 2.4.85+git1710271830.33dcc2~gd~a) but 2.4.83-1 is to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Yikes! It wants to uninstall my entire DE! Now I do have ubuntu-desktop removed (to remove the dock). I can't install anything right now without it wanting to remove EVERYTHING. I though ppa-purge was supposed to prevent this kind of thing. Any advice?
edit: I should also state I am running this on a Dell xps 13, so full Intel CPU and GPU. I also went through and did an apy install ubuntu-desktop^ to try and make surer all the packages for the DE were marked for install, but it hasn't made any visible difference.

Final Edit: I finally managed to fix it. I used sudo dpkg --purge libdrm-common, re-enabled the PPA, updated, then ran sudo apt upgrade and it upgraded fine. It now no longer tries to uninstall my DE, and the packages no longer throw errors.
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:oibaf/graphics-driversthensudo apt updatesudo dpkg --purge libdrm-common, re-enabled the PPA, then ransudo apt upgradeand it upgraded fine. Thank you so much for all of your help.
