Problem with dependencies

Asked by Alen Masic

Hello

Since last update I have problems with dependencies. If I try to install or remove any application I get this error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 shotwell : Depends: shotwell-common (= 0.18.0-0ubuntu4.1) but 0.18.0-0ubuntu4.2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I tried manually to install shotwell-common but I got same error. Also I tried with sudo apt-get -f install and got this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

The following extra packages will be installed:
  shotwell
The following packages will be upgraded:

So what should I do to solve this problem?

sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/shotwell_0.18.1-1~trusty1_i386.deb

There is a conflict in the files in the package. I suggest you run:

ubuntu-bug shotwell

And report the issue. The command I gave will make the system ignore the overlap and install the package.

Please also send us the output of this command:

find /etc/apt -name '*.list' -exec bash -c 'echo -e "\n$1\n"; cat -n "$1"' _ '{}' \;

You might have a PPA enabled that is causing this conflict...
