I know that this is a common problem and i have tried many "fixes" but none of them worked.
I want to install an update to one of my programs, but i can't because it says that I have unmet dependencies. I used sudo apt install -f and I got E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) in detail:

I really don't know what to do, this isn't the first time this happened, the last time it happened i just reinstalled the entire OS, however now with my PLEX libary reaching well over 7 TB, that is out of the question. Thanks in advance! :)
sudo apt autoremoveregularly to avoid this in future after resolving this issue). – Zanna Jun 17 '18 at 08:18
