I recently upgraded to the 18.04 ubuntu, but the download did not go so well. When it finished my laptop said that it "installed" but with errors. I have tried the following commands in the terminal, and now I am just going in circles. I have been using Ubuntu for a while but I am at the end of my abilities.

I ran 

sudo apt-get update

then got 

Hit:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Hit:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease
Hit:3 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease
Get:4 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease [69.9 kB]
Fetched 69.9 kB in 1s (56.6 kB/s)                             
Reading package lists... Done

then nothing. I ran:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and got this:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-keyring-pkcs11 : Breaks: libp11-kit-gnome-keyring (< 3.27.4-2~) but 3.20.1-1ubuntu1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I ran 

sudo apt --fix-broken install

then it says:

dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libp11-kit-gnome-keyring_3.28.0.2-1ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack):
 libp11-kit-gnome-keyring:all 3.28.0.2-1ubuntu1 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with libp11-kit-gnome-keyring which has multiple installed instances
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libp11-kit-gnome-keyring_3.28.0.2-1ubuntu1_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried running the software update, and it says I have too many third parties working. I went into settings and left the first four checked, nothing. I unchecked all of them, nothing. This is where ive been going around for a bit.

  • After you unchecked the third party repositories, did you rerun the "sudp apt-get update" command before trying the "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" again? – ubfan1 May 04 '18 at 00:21

    and then nothing happens.

I had this exact problem. I tried to remove the libp11-kit-gnome-keyring but there was nothing installed (??). Then I manually downloaded it from: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/i386/libp11-kit-gnome-keyring/download and installed it. After that:

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Still a problem. Then:

sudo apt remove libp11-kit-gnome-keyring
sudo apt --fix-broken install

Everything ok? I don't really know what I was doing but after that it was ok. Then just regular update + dist-upgrade.
