I am trying to install the mono-gmcs package on my virtual machine running Kali Linux, but receive the output
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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mono-gmcs : Depends: mono-mcs (= 3.12.1-0xamarin1) but 4.0.4.1-0xamarin1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I am using the command sudo apt-get install mono-gmcs to install it.
It says, that mono-gmcs depends on mono-mcs (3.12.1-0xamarin1), which currently is installed via 4.0.4.1-0xamarin1. You have versions conflict. Downgrading xamarin will solve it sudo apt-get install packagename=version
If you are going to choose Mono 4.* via mono-complete, say goodbye to many old packages such as this one. They are obsolete and you don't need them any more.
The compilers have been unified to a single mcs.
Try this
sudo apt-get install mono-complete=*
It brings the latest version.

I am trying to run MiniKF on my device which requires me to install vagrant. I am running Ubuntu 19.04. I downloaded vagrant, but when I try to install it using sudo apt-get install vagrant I get the following message:

I have tried using sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get install -f , tried editing the /var/lib/dpkg/status file, tried removing the files with sudo apt-get remove and more but nothing is working for me. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
So some very elementary things to try first:
sudo apt clean && sudo apt --fix-missing && sudo dpkg --configure -a
This is all pretty standard stuff to try first - this would attempt to clean any leftover resources and cache materials, then attempt to fix any broken or missing dependencies, then check for any unfinished or otherwise weird installation issues for other packages that didn't configure themselves all the way / correctly.
After that, if you still have the same issue, I'm assuming it's due to the fact that Ubuntu 19.04 is already end of life, and the repositories may not (read: definitely do not) have all the same packages that something that is within life like Ubuntu 20.04 has. Even if the above happens to fix your problem, you should look into upgrading to 20.04 whenever possible, as this won't be your first problem that crops up regarding updates or installation in the near future.
I am back here again with one more issue that I am having installing PhpStorm on my Ubuntu 14.04. To do so I followed the following steps:
Step 1. sudo apt-get purge openjdk* which gave me a long list mostly saying Package is not installed, so not removed. A few examples:
Package 'openjdk-7-dbg' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'openjdk-7-doc' is not installed, so not removed
...
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Step 2: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java which ended up saying this:
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:
oracle-java7-set-default : Depends: oracle-java7-installer but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Step 3: Despite those error messages popped up I went ahead and ran sudo apt-get update which executed OK.
Step 4: Tried to run sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer which again popped up a lot of negative remarks!
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

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

oracle-java7-installer : Depends: java-common (>= 0.24) but it is not installable
Recommends: gsfonts-x11 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So I did not go further with rest of the following commands:
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-set-default
wget http://download-cf.jetbrains.com/webide/PhpStorm-7.1.3.tar.gz
tar -xvf PhpStorm-7.1.3.tar.gz
cd PhpStorm-133.982/bin
./phpstorm.sh
I have no idea what is going wrong! Somebody please help this absolute newbie to install it.
On another note, if PhpStorm fails to install somehow on my PC, please suggest me a good software which runs on Ubuntu with an inbuilt SASS compiler so that I do not have to run a command every time from terminal? And it would be even better if that software I can get for free! PhpStorm is only a 30-day trial.
EDIT
Strange, I'm using PhpStarm on Ubuntu 14.04 and ant works fine. IntelliJ IDEs are really great.
I have these Java from the same repo you are using.
java-common-0.51
java-wrappers-0.1.27
oracle-java7-installer-7u80+7u60arm-0~webupd8~1
Let's try to purge all the Java packages from you system and then install the Oracle Java again.
Use dpkg -l | grep java to discover all the installed java-related packages.
Then, use apt-get purge on all of them.
Skip the javascipt packages of course.
Then, try to install oracle-java7-installer again. I hope it will be installed correctly.
To install Phpstorm in Ubuntu just follow these steps
1.Run sudo apt install snapd
2.Then sudo snap install phpstorm --classic
3.Then type phpstorm in shell and press enter to launch Phpstorm

I have been trying to install Android Studio properly to my Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit machine, but I can not solve this very problem. Android studio requires us to install some 32 bit files to 64 bit computers. But when I try to install, I cannot solve the problem.
I have given so many inputs to the terminal and couldn't trace them all. However, I'm sure that I wrote lots of commands on installing lib32stdc++6 and other packages that has been suggested on the internet but every time I got the error message:
[ E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. The following packages have unmet dependencies: X depends Y but it won't be installed ]
Edit: input & output example:

(Posted on behalf of the OP):
I solved the problem. I'll write a brief info about the solution process in case anyone else faces with a similar situation. First of all I realised that this problem was all about the incompatibility of 32 bit libraries with 16.04. So that, I changed the "download from" section from the System Settings - Software&Updates.
Select Netherlands instead of your country's repo, that'll be convenient (mine was Turkey before). Then simply update your repos by typing sudo apt-get update to terminal. Lastly, install the required libraries for 16.04 by typing sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6. After all, install Android Studio from the very beginning. I did all those and now Android Studio runs properly.
I cannot install g++ on newly installed ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS.
When I use command sudo apt-get install g++, the terminal tell me:

I used the ubuntu software center to install g++, failed again......
Figure: Use ubuntu software center to install g++
This problem has been solved by changing another source.
I have tried 4 sources, and all of them have problems......OMG!
I think this will help:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install g++
Also this could help:
sudo dpkg --purge g++# Try this first
sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends g++# Try this ONLY if the previous line fails
sudo apt-get clean g++# Remove g++ from the cache
sudo apt-get install g++# Download and install the appropriate version of g++
If I had to guess, I would say there are other libc6, libc-dev, etc..files that need updating before you can update the C's and G's.
It seems that if you install build essentials then it will correct the problem.
If you look up the files on the ubuntu packages site and look at the dependencies, then compare them to what is on your machine, I bet you find you have an update conflict due to incompatible dependency version somewhere.
You could manually download them individually at the bottom of the repository page (a small table) then double click the deb files and they will start to install if all of the dependencies and versions are met and compatible.
Think of it as "A depends on B which depends on C which depends on D......" being installed. to some infinity no avail. Its a nightmare when doing it that way. But does force you to respect Synaptic and the apt-get thorough and detailed process and compatibility check.
Best to start with build essentials though.

How did you remove your package list? You should be able to restore it by finding the official repository list on the Linux Mint site, and then making sure your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list matches what they have.
Firstly, I would run sudo apt-get update though, in order to see what you're missing. That in itself might fix your problem.
Try the following.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tualatrix/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
