[SOLVED] apt-get problem

lemon09 · 01-15-2014, 04:56 AM

I face a strange problem while using apt-get. Whenever I try to install any package using apt-get it gives the following error:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-recommended
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:
 bluej : Depends: sun-java6-jdk but it is not installable or
                  sun-java7-jdk but it is not installable or
                  openjdk-6-jdk but it is not going to be installed or
                  openjdk-7-jdk but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Now I don't really understand the problem. I am trying to install a different package but it is still stuck to that old bluej package. I must admit that I have once tried to install the bluej package with no luck. It gave the same error at that time also. So, I quit installing the package. But now it seems that I even cannot install any other package. Is there any solution to the problem.
I have tried the following commands also:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get autoclean

and

Code:

$ sudo apt-get autoclean

Also run the following commands in this order.

Code:

aptitute update

Code:

aptitude purge ~c

this is to clear things up
~c - matches partially uninstalled packages ('configured, but not installed')

Code:

apt-get autoclean

Code:

apt-get autoremove

Try

Code:

sudo apt-get remove bleuj

If that doesn't help

Code:

sudo dpkg -r bluej
sudo apt-get -f install

What you hope to achieve is that apt is convinced that bluej is not longer to be installed.
