I messed up my packages and can't get them to work. Dependencies missing [closed]

As the title states, I messed up. I don't know exactly where (I was trying to install runescape), but I did. Now, there are about a hundred dependencies missing. So many that I can't get them on one scroll up.
I've tried many things (all the obvious ones of course):
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
I've also tried with dpkg. I found this, which told me to do this:
dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | awk 'print $1' > list.log
awk '$1=$1' ORS=' ' list.log > newlist.log
apt-get install --reinstall $(cat newlist.log)
None of it worked.
No packages are on hold for dpkg. I've checked. Twice.
sudo apt-get -f install returns the same errors that any other package install returns because of unmet dependencies.
Here's the error it gives me:
<bunch of dependencies listed>
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
I also managed to delete sources.list.d at some point and I don't even really know what it's good for.
I seriously am out of my depth. I have no clue. Help.

Please show us a complete terminal session showing the error(s) you are encountering and how you got there. And stop trying random commands you find on the internet - seems like you are making the problem worse.

I don't know how to show the complete terminal session, as I can't scroll up far enough to reach the start of the dependency errors

That's a setting in your Terminal application. You may need to restart the Terminal application for the changed setting to take effect.

Try restoring your sources.list.d with the help of Always getting error during apt-get install
And for your package installation error, run...
sudo dpkg --configure -a
This should work.

Ok, this is weird. It seemed as if it worked temporarily, but I still can't install anything... Now instead of a billion errors, when I doapt-get -f install, it just gives meerror while loading shared libraries: libattr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

That's a different problem. Search for it - it's been asked and answered here before.
