[SOLVED] Unable to install a .deb file with unmet-dependencies
by makem from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5JZYZ)
I attempt install of a .deb file whic states it has unmet-dependencies. It then states what dependencies are required. It then says it has dealt with the dependencies but ask if remove the program!
It appears the dependencies are out of date and need updating. I thought this is what the -f did?

makem@makem-pc:~/Downloads$All I need to do is stop my Razer Huntsman keyboard from cycling keyboard colours and just stick to white.
If I must manually update the dependencies can I have some guidance?
