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.

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:
Then go to the Updates tab and make sure that they are enabled too:
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!
Hope this helps OP. I assumed they have a a package conflict & we need more info to see where it is. I'll check back later!
