[naoyamakino]

Hi there, I am having an issue whenever I try to install something. On Ubuntu Software Centre, I get a following error message when I try to install:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

libcurl3:i386: Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) but 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3ubuntu4 is installed

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4) but 2.15-0ubuntu10 is installed

and here is what I get when I run sudo apt-get -f install

Hi

Open a terminal and type

sudo mv /usr/share/doc/libssl1.0.0/changelog.Debian.gz{,.old}

Then type

sudo apt-get -f install

Can you also post the output of

grep -v ^# /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

Kind regards

[naoyamakino]

I think that worked, thanks!

Do you see any issues with my /sources.list?

Hi

Your sources look fine to me so there is no problem there that i can see.

You do have a problem with ttf-mscorefonts-installer.

dpkg: warning: files list file for package `ttf-mscorefonts-installer' missing, assuming package has no files currently

I would try reinstalling that package.

From the terminal.

sudo apt-get clean

sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Just to clean up what we did earlier type

sudo rm /usr/share/doc/libssl1.0.0/changelog.Debian.gz.old

Kind regards
