5,729
Open software and updates other software tab Untick any repository you dont think should be their like if wine is still their even after you uninstalled it or you dont need the repo (be careful dont delete just untick ,just in case you need it again for some software again sometime in future) close it ,it will ask for refresh cancel it
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
you can comment out repositorys in terminal also just edit the file
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list
and comment the repos you don't need

apt-get always fails when I try anything. I can't install, remove, update, upgrade and even dist-upgrade. When I try
sudo apt-get update
I got this message :E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
apt-get install
E: Unmet dependencies.
apt-get upgrade :

Houssem BenHassen about 8 yearsI already made a quick search for the best package manager and it seems to be aptitude the problem is I must use the "apt-get install" command to install it. I could not find the .deb package avialable for download immediately

Dominic Motuka about 8 years@HoussemBenHassenAs part of its operation, Apt uses a file that lists the 'sources' from which packages can be obtained. This file is /etc/apt/sources.list. The entries in this file normally follow this format
deb http://site.example.com/debian distribution component1 component2 component3
anddeb-src http://site.example.com/debian distribution component1 component2 component3
