package management - Ubuntu Broken Dependencies - Ask Ubuntu


i had no network on pc , installed many (hundreds) .deb packages command

sudo dpkg -i *.deb 

the installed applications working (wine, vlc etc) when opening synaptic, have 207 broken packages... afaik packages broken if have unresolved dependencies. if rightclick 1 of broken packages none of dependencies italic...

so, if works why many packages "broken"?

edit seems not installed application working. of them need libraries aren't installed.

also, think packages messed system: important settings have been resetten (display resolution, keyboard , mousepad) .

i guess uninstalling packages simpliest way resolve problems. correct me if i'm wrong

that's purely “by accident”. missing dependencies start cause problems once try to

  • use functionality or

  • install, upgrade, or remove packages via apt , front-ends (like synaptic).
