Some apt magic pls
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SDXP)
Can't do much installing/removal in this Mint-19.0 VM because of the following errors Code:The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpython2.7 : Depends: libpython2.7-stdlib (= 2.7.15-4ubuntu4~18.04) but 2.7.15~rc1-1ubuntu0.1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
dec@Mint19-VBox:~$ sudo apt remove libpython2.7

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).It's really rooting for me to try that 'apt --fix-broken install' which of course produces a syntax error and reams of 'Here's how you use apt, stupid' stuff :(. There's nothing mission critical here atm, but I would like to know how to sort this if only for pride's sake.
