Unmet dependencies not fixable for Gstreamer

[Mark_in_Hollywood]

I tried to play a recording (.amr) and Video looked for plugins. The plugin window shows an exclamation point in red letter that would be installed. I closed that without installation of plugins. In a terminal, after the "update", I ran: apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras. That returned a host of errors. This is a clean install of 16.04, yesterday. I then ran apt-get install -f, but that fails to fix the unmet dependencies. What went wrong at 16.04 install time? Can it be fixed?

I have never seen this before "ubuntu-restricted-addons recommends oxideqt-codecs-extra" :confused:
See if it is installed:

apt policy oxideqt-codecs-extra

Although a warning came with trying to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, I installed it (them?). No problems seem to have arisen as a result of that.
