libav installment for downloading YouTube videos to Ubuntu16.04 LTS

Asked by me@mogenseliasen.com

I am trying to install libav-tools on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with

sudo apt-get -y libav-tools ubuntu-restricted-extras

as asked by the downloader. But the terminal comes back with this message, which I do not understand:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libav-tools : Depends: ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-59-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-59-generic but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-91-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-91-generic but it is not going to be installed
 linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-91-generic but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Could anybody help me over this obstacle. I am not a programmer, so the recommendation makes no sense to me - I don't know how to do what it says.

Sorry oir the delay - I have been out of town. Here are the responses I get on your suggestions:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS
Release: 16.04
Codename: xenial
libav-tools:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 7:2.8.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
  Version table:
     7:2.8.11-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 500
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-updates/universe i386 Packages

     7:2.8.6-1ubuntu2 500

And:

The following packages have been unpacked but not yet configured.
They must be configured using dpkg --configure or the configure
menu option in dselect for them to work:
 linux-generic Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers
 linux-generic-lts-xenial Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers (dummy tran
 linux-headers-4.4.0-91 Header files related to Linux kernel version 4.4.0

 linux-headers-generic Generic Linux kernel headers
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-47-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-51-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-53-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-59-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-91-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.
 linux-image-generic Generic Linux kernel image

The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:
 initramfs-tools generic modular initramfs generator (automation)
 linux-firmware Firmware for Linux kernel drivers
 linux-image-4.4.0-47-generic Linux kernel image for version 4.4.0 on 32 bit x8
 linux-image-4.4.0-51-generic Linux kernel image for version 4.4.0 on 32 bit x8
 linux-image-4.4.0-53-generic Linux kernel image for version 4.4.0 on 32 bit x8
 linux-image-extra-4.4.0-45-generic Linux kernel extra modules for version 4.4.

Does that help anything?

The package management system on you computer is in an inconsistent status.
The installation of additional packages will be possible only after repairing the package management system.

What output do you get for the commands

df -h
sudo dpkg --configure -a

/boot is full. You need to uninstall some old kernels

What is the output of:

uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image

Thanks
