I run Ubuntu 16.04 on my desktop. I use docker-ce and it has been working up until a few days ago. The auto-update in Ubuntu seems to have broken it.
robert#catness:~$ docker ps
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?
I tried following the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/ to remove and reinstall but it hasn't worked.
robert#catness:~$ sudo apt-get install docker-ce

docker-ce is already the newest version (5:18.09.0~3-0~ubuntu-xenial).
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
docker-ce : Depends: containerd.io but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I believe the issue is with containerd.io. The command sudo apt-get -f install tries to install it and this errors:
The following additional packages will be installed:
containerd.io
The following NEW packages will be installed
containerd.io
0 to upgrade, 1 to newly install, 0 to remove and 1 not to upgrade.
1 not fully installed or removed.

There was some problem with /usr/sbin/runc, as part of debugging I tried deleting the file there, but this has made no difference at all:
robert#catness:~$ ls /usr/sbin/runc
ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/runc': No such file or directory
robert#catness:~$ sudo ls /usr/sbin/runc
ls: cannot access '/usr/sbin/runc': No such file or directory
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do next to investigate this issue.
I'd remove the runc package. The docker1.13.1 version is a pointer to a very old and unsupported version of docker, so this is likely left over from a past upgrade. Then you should be able to install containerd.io.
You may have to remove the docker-ce package first using apt-get remove docker-ce and then execute your apt-get remove runc then to install docker-ce again you have to use apt-get install docker-ce. This is because trying to remove runc without first removing docker-ce does not work
Let me know if that's successful as I'd like to open an issue in docker for this if one doesn't already exist.

I've recently installed Ubuntu version 18.04 LTS and just started to learn to use use linux and terminal. I want to install mongodb. I'm following the steps from this website.
i ran the following lines in the terminal
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 9DA31620334BD75D9DCB49F368818C72E52529D4
echo "deb [ arch=amd64,arm64 ] https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/4.0 multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-4.0.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
after i run the fourth line the following appears
tasif#Tasif-Dell:/$ sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org

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:
mongodb-org : Depends: mongodb-org-server but it is not going to be
installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Then when i want to start mongodb the following message is displayed
tasif#Tasif-Dell:/$ sudo service mongod start
[sudo] password for tasif:
Failed to start mongod.service: Unit mongod.service not found.
installing libcurl3 fixed it for me
sudo apt install libcurl3
Unfortunately, there's no non-development release of MongoDB for 18.04 yet. (Current as of 2018-07-12)
https://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu/dists/bionic/ shows that there's only a dev release.
Your specific problem is that you are not installing all the dependencies for Mongo, which can probably be fixed with:
sudo apt-get install -f
Per this ask Ubuntu answer.

I'm having a problem with apt-get. I'm trying to install gsoap, typing
apt-get install gsoap
but I'm getting
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev : Breaks: gcc-4.4 (< 4.4.6-4) but 4.4.5-8 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
Question 1: can someone translate this into English?
I tried running apt-get -f install, but all it said was "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1153 not upgraded".
This is really frustrating. I know dependency management is a hard problem, but I thought it was the job of a tool like apt-get to solve that problem for me. In this case it feels like there's something it's decided it can't do, and it's expecting me to resolve it, but it's telling me what's wrong using language which I frankly do not understand.
Question 2: is there something I could read to help me understand apt's dependency management philosophy, so I could maybe understand what's going on here?
If I should be asking these questions somewhere else let me know.
Addendum: per the Debian bug report linked to by mertyildiran, there was definitely a dependency problem involving gcc-4.4 and squeeze (which is in fact what I'm running). That bug claims to be fixed, but somehow the fix isn't helping me.
I suspect it may be time to ask Question 3: Is there a way to hand-edit the dependency list to make this problem go away? That's a terrible idea, I know, but at this point that may be my only choice other than blowing away the whole machine and reinstalling squeeze or wheezy from scratch, and that's a daunting prospect.
Run the following command
sudo apt install aptitude && sudo aptitude install gsoap
It might be that #JosephWorks' solution
sudo apt install aptitude && sudo aptitude install gsoap
actually helps with
Question 3: Is there a way to hand-edit the dependency list to make this problem go away?
Aptitude offers several configuration/downgrading options that installs the package you wish for. You can list the different options with n and choose one with Y.
This solution has been reported in several forums:
sudo apt-get clean && apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get install gsoap

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=70540
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux/182874-apt-get-install-complains-broken-packages.html
Debian Bug report about the issue: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=676483
Explanation:
Let's see the functionality of clean argument with man apt-get:
clean
clean clears out the local repository of retrieved package files. It removes everything but the lock file from
/var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/.
Simply clean will reset your local package index so you can update your package index in most clean way.
I believe you have made a dist-upgrade in the past or manually edited your /etc/apt/sources.list. Maybe a PPA(Personal Package Archive) that you have used caused this problem.
If the error persists:
Compile and Install gcc-4.4.5
Download gcc-4.4.5: http://www.netgull.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.4.5/gcc-4.4.5.tar.gz
tar -zxvf gcc-4.4.5.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.4.5/
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo apt-get install gsoap
Probably you have an old distro. Ubuntu 16.04 comes with gcc-5.4.0. Installing gcc-4.4.5 should solve the problem.

you have some broken packages so before installing openjdk . run command
sudo apt-get -f install
it will install all broken dependency then run command
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
it will work

I've tried to install android-studio via apt-get in Ubuntu and find that a dependency package with a size of 233 M is required to download from Google. Since I'm in China the network condition is so bad that I cannot download the package completely, and finally I have to give up.
However here comes a problem: now every time I execute apt-get I will get a hint of Incomplete dependency and be asked to download the package above. If I execute sudo apt-get remove android-studio an error will occur:
dpkg: error processing package android-studio (--remove):
package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal
An error occurred when processing:
android-studio
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
My apt-get was stuck. So how can I remove an incomplete package entirely?
Try running following commands on the terminal:
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get --purge remove
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq tspc
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get -f install
These may clear or fix broken packages and try to install again.
Open synaptic Install synaptic. Then go to status and choose Broken. Then remove completely the broken packages.
