I have unmet dependencies when trying to install gitlab, VLC, GParted and other packages.



openssh-server : 
Depends: openssh-client (= 1:7.2p2-4)
Depends: openssh-sftp-server but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: ssh-import-id but it is not going to be installed


for VLC:



vlc : 
Depends: libgles1-mesa (>= 7.8.1) but it is not going to be installed
or libgles1 Depends: libgles2-mesa (>= 7.8.1) but it is not going to be installed
or libgles2


I have tried:



sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get install aptitude
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove


I've even tried:



sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get install openssh-server -y


I have tried basically everything, but nothing is working. I can't even install gitlab or any other application.

    Quick question, what dependencies are being shown as unmet? What software sources do you currently have enabled?

    Are you getting any errors during the sudo apt update? Please edit your question and add these details into it and not down here in the comments. Best if you copy and paste the errors that you are seeing. We need details so that we can help you better.

    Hi @TimothyMach You need to update (read: EDIT) your question with output from the commands you are running. Pasting small snips in the comment field isn't enough.

I have been looking at some of the packages that you are having issues with for it to install. When I did an apt search it was showing xenial-updates for the application:



~$ apt search libgles1-mesa
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
libglapi-mesa/xenial-updates,now 17.2.8-0ubuntu0~16.04.1 amd64 [installed]
free implementation of the GL API -- shared library


It sounds to me that you might not have the correct repositories enabled.



Go to Settings -> Software & Updates.



Check the Ubuntu Software tab and make sure that they all are enabled:



enter image description here



Then go to the Updates tab and make sure that they are enabled too:



enter image description here



Then click Close at the bottom and I believe that it will want to update the repositories and check for updates. Then try your installations again.



Hope this helps!
