My goal: To install libass-dev package via apt-get or Software Center



Problem description:



When I try



$ sudo apt-get install libass-dev


I'm getting



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libass-dev : Depends: libfreetype6-dev but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libfontconfig1-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


When I try "Ubuntu Software Center" -> "libass-dev" -> "install" following error appears:



enter image description here



This is not the only package with such problems. MB smth wrong with my app repo.



I tried:



sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get -u dist-upgrade


and some similar advices but none of them helped.

This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.















  • You're right - the problem is with your "app repo," and none of those commands will fix problems with an "app repo". Please edit your question to include the complete output of sudo apt update and apt-cache policy libass-dev and apt-cache policy ibfreetype6-dev
