How to repair unmet dependencies in Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux
I'm having trouble upgrading packages in my WSL Ubuntu on Windows 10 Pro. I've been using this particular machine and installation of Ubuntu for 3 months, and would like to figure out how to avoid re-installing my environment if at all possible, but I'm really at a loss here. Any suggestions?
When I run sudo apt upgrade, I get the following output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libnss-systemd : Depends: systemd (= 237-3ubuntu10.15) but 237-3ubuntu10.13 is installed
libpam-systemd : Depends: systemd (= 237-3ubuntu10.15) but 237-3ubuntu10.13 is installed
systemd : Depends: libsystemd0 (= 237-3ubuntu10.13) but 237-3ubuntu10.15 is installed
udev : Depends: libudev1 (= 237-3ubuntu10.13) but 237-3ubuntu10.15 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
When I run sudo apt install -f, I get the following output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
systemd udev
Suggested packages:
systemd-container
The following packages will be upgraded:
systemd udev
2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
5 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 0 B/3999 kB of archives.
After this operation, 8192 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
