My problem is that I want to install the package libgtk-perl on ubuntu but it fails due to its unmet dependencies i.e perlapi-5.8.8, I have also tried doing auto dependency installation but that also fails. The problem is that it is a virtual package and even though perl-base is installed (As shown in the instructions) perlapi can't be installed. Please can anyone help me installing perlapu-5.8.8

You're trying to use Perl package Gtk. In order to do that, you're trying to install a binary that was built using Perl 5.8.8, which would require you switching to Perl 5.8.8 (or 5.8.9). Aside from being a major step backwards, you can't do what you want without breaking your system. Switching your Perl for Perl 5.8.8 would cause problems.
If your system doesn't provide a package for the Perl module Gtk for your version of Perl, install it yourself as follows (after installing the necessary C libraries):
cpan Gtk

I'm trying to install a .deb package with dpkg -i, but I get this error:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of modelio-open-source4.1:
modelio-open-source4.1 depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0; however:
Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not installed.
So it seems I need to install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0. So I run sudo apt install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0, but I get this output:

Package libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

I get some output showing: This package has no installation candidate.
For example, if I install rpm, the output is:-

All this has been happening since the day I terminated the atom installation.
Can anyone help me with this?

Do you have any ideas?
So a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 it was … there’s a catch though,
you can choose between LTS (Long Term Support) or not. I chose not to
since It’s a VM and I don’t mind newer updates, etc… Turns out that
was a bad idea with .NET Core installs! It would seem that once the
non LTS is installed you end up with 16.10 which has installed some
newer versions of required libraries, namely something called libicu
which is now on 57 instead of a required 55.
Source: https://shazwazza.com/post/installing-net-core-101-on-ubuntu-1610/
Try installing the libicu55 manually on your machine (it should run side by side with the newer version on your machine):
Download the file from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/xenial/amd64/libicu55/download
Install it using: sudo dpkg –i libicu55_55.1-7_amd64.deb
I like the idea of having a terminal connected to my nautilus file manager.
There is a package called nautilus-terminal which does this.
if I try to install it via sudo apt-get install nautilus-terminal I get the following error message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nautilus-terminal : Depends: gir1.2-vte-2.90 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
If I try to install it via sudo apt-get install gir1.2-vte-2.90
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package gir1.2-vte-2.90 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'gir1.2-vte-2.90' has no installation candidate
Does anybody know how to solve this?
This problem is because you already have gir1.2-vte-2.91 installed on your ubuntu but since the package name contains version number, it's not recognized as a higher version of gir1.2-vte-2.90 so you just need to provide a package with the name gir1.2-vte-2.90 and connect it to gir1.2-vte-2.91. This can be easily done by following the instructions of this answer.
