Package System Broken

**blueboy1** · September 20th, 2013

I am running 12.04 and updated my system and apparantly installed some packages for 13.1. I am unable to run wine and want to delete wine and reinstall it. In the process it seems I messed up my System Manager with some third party repositoriies.
I am trying to do the following:
Fix my Package Manager which is showing the follwoing message Package System Broken with the follwoing details.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

initramfs-tools: Depends: initramfs-tools-bin (>= 0.99ubuntu13.1) but 0.99ubuntu13.2 is installed
Depends: klibc-utils (>= 1.5.9-1) but 1.5.25-1ubuntu2 is installed
Depends: busybox-initramfs (>= 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu5) but 1:1.18.5-1ubuntu4.1 is installed
Depends: udev (>= 147~-5) but 175-0ubuntu9.4 is installed
Depends: findutils (>= 4.2.24) but 4.4.2-4ubuntu1 is installed
Depends: util-linux (> 2.15~rc1) but 2.20.1-1ubuntu3 is installed

Secondly I am trying to delete and reinstall wine.
I will be happy for any help I can get. Thanks.

blueboy1; Hi !

I have never seen nothing like that .. but, I will try and help .. see if we can restore ... be aware what you have asked for may turn out to be a tall order. Removing Wine can be a challenge !
Wine is to be removed as the 1st order of business:
a) Was Wine functional ?
b) How did you install Wine ?
c) What methods/actions have you taken to remove Wine ?

Post back the following - between code (#) tags - so we know what we are working with:

Code:

lsb_release -a
uname -a
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
ls -la /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

And Post back - between code (#) tags - the complete output of : So we know the condition of the package management system.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

will see what there is to be done

alrick@Home:~$ sudo apt-get -f
apt 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.12 for amd64 compiled on Jul 16 2013 18:00:51
Usage: apt-get [options] command
       apt-get [options] install|remove pkg1 [pkg2 ...]
       apt-get [options] source pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

apt-get is a simple command line interface for downloading and
installing packages. The most frequently used commands are update
and install.

Commands:
   update - Retrieve new lists of packages
   upgrade - Perform an upgrade
   install - Install new packages (pkg is libc6 not libc6.deb)
   remove - Remove packages
   autoremove - Remove automatically all unused packages
   purge - Remove packages and config files
   source - Download source archives
   build-dep - Configure build-dependencies for source packages
   dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8)
   dselect-upgrade - Follow dselect selections
   clean - Erase downloaded archive files
   autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files
   check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies
   changelog - Download and display the changelog for the given package
   download - Download the binary package into the current directory

Options:
  -h  This help text.
  -q  Loggable output - no progress indicator
  -qq No output except for errors
  -d  Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives
  -s  No-act. Perform ordering simulation
  -y  Assume Yes to all queries and do not prompt
  -f  Attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place
  -m  Attempt to continue if archives are unlocatable
  -u  Show a list of upgraded packages as well
  -b  Build the source package after fetching it
  -V  Show verbose version numbers
  -c=? Read this configuration file
  -o=? Set an arbitrary configuration option, eg -o dir::cache=/tmp
See the apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and apt.conf(5) manual
pages for more information and options.
                       This APT has Super Cow Powers.

So long as initramfs is not happy ... nothing is going to be done.
Let's see what results; Terminal code:
As a 1st approach:

Code:

sudo apt-get install -f initramfs-tools

Please put your outputs between code (#) tags -top of post. Surely makes the text more readable.

one think at a time, other thinks in due time

To add code tags to the terminal output , highlight the text with your cursor and select the # symbol from the reply box tools. This makes for easy scrolling and saves space.

alrick_lothian;

This is going to take some thinking !
You have a later version of "initramfs-tools-bin" ::0.99ubuntu13.2.
If we fix it for this instance, will break whatever was installed that depends on the higher version.
Let's try and find out what it is going to break if we fix it:
This requires another tool to be used to ask a quick question of the package management system; namely "aptitude".
Let's see what happens if we try and install "aptitude":

Code:

sudo apt-get install aptitude

Now if it installs do:

Code:

aptitude why initramfs-tools-bin_0.99ubuntu13.2

To get an idea of what we have to do.
-----------------
Once more, please place your outputs between code tags. Makes it much easier to read and when you read as much "code" as we do .. IT makes a huge difference ! Me, I do it like so .. type {code] paste my text and then type {/code] -here replace "{ with [ ..see BBCode list.

just what I think

**alrick_lothian** · September 25th, 2013

Thanks for all your efforts, please be patient with me. I am not so savvy with ubuntu yet.
Here is the out put for the code, it did not install. I am also placing the output of the codes you suggested between the number(#) lines. I did not understand how to place your outputs between code tags.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
aptitude : Depends: libboost-iostreams1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcwidget3 but it is not going to be installed

initramfs-tools : Depends: initramfs-tools-bin (< 0.99ubuntu13.1.1~) but 0.99ubuntu13.2 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
