  • 772

I haven't installed any new packages recently or added any PPAs, just ran apt update.

After running 'apt upgrade'

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libglvnd-dev : Depends: libglvnd0 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2 is installed
                Depends: libglvnd-core-dev (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2 is installed
                Depends: libegl1 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2 is installed
                Depends: libgles2 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2 is installed
                Depends: libgl1 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2 is installed
                Depends: libglx0 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2 is installed
                Depends: libopengl0 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.1) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I tried switching back to nouoveau temporarily but due to apt being messed up I can't. The control file asks for all the dependencies to be *-2.2 but when I try to upgrade it's asking for *-2.1.

UPDATE I fixed it by running

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libglvnd-dev_1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libgles1_1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2_amd64.deb
sudo apt -f install
dependencies nvidia apt budgie 18.04

  1. @pibacco solution on question worked for me:

    UPDATE I fixed it by running

    sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libglvnd-dev_1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2_amd64.deb 
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libgles1_1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2_amd64.deb 
sudo apt -f install
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

  2. You need to remove packages completely by 

    sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "libgles1" 
sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends "libglvnd-dev"
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install -f

    You can also see Can't solve unmet dependencies and sudo apt-get -f install fails
