I have a linux distro "Pop_OS" installation that is contaminated by ubuntu. Specifically, its audio driver is broken.
When I try to use aptitude to force install "pulseaudio", it demonstrates the simple situation:
$ sudo aptitude install pulseaudio
The following NEW packages will be installed:
pulseaudio
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 913 kB of archives. After unpacking 4,674 kB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
pop-desktop : Conflicts: pulseaudio but 1:15.99.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Conflicts: pulseaudio:i386 but it is not going to be installed
pipewire-alsa : Conflicts: pulseaudio but 1:15.99.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2 is to be installed
Conflicts: pulseaudio:i386 but it is not going to be installed
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) pulseaudio [Not Installed]
Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] n
*** No more solutions available ***
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) pulseaudio [Not Installed]
Obviously, the easy solution would be to uninstall pulseaudio but 1:15.99.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2 (which cannot be found in upstream), and resolve the conflict. But aptitude shows that "*** No more solutions available ***"
So, why is aptitude so incapable of resolving such a simple conflict? And what tool is smart enough to do that?

I am on Ubuntu 17.10, freshly installed and tried to installed Ruby using apt-get install ruby-full. It failed to install and now aptitude says
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ri: Depends: ruby2.3-doc but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specifiy a solution).
I tried the suggested command as well as sudo apt-get install -f -y to no avail: It begins the install process then tells me there was an error processing the ruby2.3-doc archive

I tried clearing aptitude's cache in case a package failed to download correctly but that did not fix it.
Because this means there are unmet dependencies, I'm unable to run other aptitude operations to try and install new packages or remove ruby-full.
How can I remove this ruby-full package so I can try again using rvm?
I ended up removing ri, ruby-full, and the other packages mentioned then ran apt-get update.

How am I supposed to solved it.
I only get it to work using master branch of VLC
https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/master-daily
first add the repository
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
The vlc-nox package installs vlc
To remove, use:
sudo apt-get purge vlc-nox
Next, to reinstall vlc, use:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc
% sudo snap install vlc
VLC for Debian and many other Linux distributions is also packaged using snap packages. This allows us to distribute latest and greatest VLC versions directly to end users, with security and critical bug fixes, full codec and optical media support.
To install via snap:

I feel like there is something I'm missing here but after a day of messing around with it I still can't figure it out. Any help/insight would be appreciated.
Thanks G10DRAS for providing the link.
This solution worked for me. First, I downloaded these files
sudo wget https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/phonetisaurus/is2013-conversion.tgz
sudo wget http://www.openfst.org/twiki/pub/FST/FstDownload/openfst-1.3.4.tar.gz
Then, untared the files
tar -xvf is2013-conversion.tgz
tar -xvf openfst-1.3.4.tar.gz

but still same issue
It would be helpful if someone suggestion me how to fix and install maven
Thanks in advance
May be too late to answer, but I had same issue on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS -- so this may be helpful
Here is a work around...
sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
The command above will install: libwagon2-java_2.2-3+nmu1_all.deb
After this you will be able to install Maven by: $ sudo apt-get install maven
Update your packages by
sudo apt-get update
then try to install.

I've just seen a post about installing imagemagick from source so I'm going to try that, but if anyone has any better ideas I'd love to hear them.

sudo apt-get install aptitude
Then fire:
sudo aptitude install graphicsmagick-libmagick-dev-compat

gem install rmagick
failed too. Then I did

After task is done, U can easily run 'bundle install' in your project directory.
Try installing imagemagick and libmagickwand-dev together:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick libmagickwand-dev
This allows apt to resolve the dependencies properly. (tested on Ubuntu 12.04)
sudo apt-get install libmagick++-dev
rmagick installed success
