Errors when Updating

I am running Mint 18.3 (64bit)
When I run the update manager I get the following errors:

Try

Code:

sudo apt-get --fix-broken

.

Post the results.

I'm having similar problems after upgrading from Mint 18.2 to 18.3.

(I don't want to hijack ZzoOoOzZ's thread with my rather large error message though!)

Quote:

sudo apt-get --fix broken

gets me:

Quote:

~ $ sudo apt-get --fix-broken
[sudo] password for Soadyheid:
E: Command line option --fix-broken is not understood in combination with the other options

Hmmm...

Otherwise, the system seems to be running fine, even things complained about! Watching with interest...

The command is in the man pages though!

Play Bonny!
