Installing imagemagick on Ubuntu: Unmet Dependencies
1
On Ubuntu 16.04 I am using:
$ sudo apt-get install imagemagick
to install imagemagick. But however I get the following message and imagemagick is not getting installed:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
imagemagick : Depends: imagemagick-6.q16 (= 8:6.8.9.9-7ubuntu5.13)
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-138-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-138-generic but it is not going to be installed
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-138-generic but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: thermald but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Maybe I should run apt-get -f install as recommended. Is that safe on a production system?

Just tried the install on my 18.04, and it works. The error message you get points at a deeper underlying problem here. Did you by chance meddle with the kernel installation somehow to downgrade the kernel, or did you upgrade from a previous Ubuntu version to 18.04? As 4.4.0 is not the kernel normally running on 18.04.

You can install missing packages which caused the unmet dependencies withsudo apt-get update --fix-missing.

@Videonauth As far as I know the system was upgraded from a previous Ubuntu version. Would you recommend a kernel update?
– Mango D
Feb 18 at 8:53
@MangoD: I would do so, you can do it bysudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall linux-generic

@Videonauth Would you generally say this is a safe command to execute? Of course a backup is always needed before performing such task.
