Installing MongoDB on Ubuntu 16.04 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/220

Answer 1

Have you done the update?

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

If the update does not help, try checking for broken dependencies:

sudo apt-get check

The check command is a diagnostic tool. It used to update package cache and checks for broken dependencies.

I would also try two more things. First,

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install

and if that does not help, try to unblock the dpkg

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*
sudo apt-get -f install

I hope it helps.
