npm : Depends: node-gyp (>= 0.10.9) but it is not going to be installed [duplicate]

  • 772

I want to install npm. I've updated everything but I can't fix the problem.

The message I get is:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 npm : Depends: node-gyp (>= 0.10.9) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Could you help me?

    sudo apt-get install nodejs-dev node-gyp libssl1.0-dev

    and

    sudo apt-get install npm
