I use Ubuntu 18.04, and I can't reinstall CodeBlocks, it does not work. I installed Codeblocks 16.04 earlier but, then I uninstalled it, because I would like to use a new version like 17.12.Now, when I try to install it again, it shows me this error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 codeblocks : Depends: codeblocks-common (= 16.01+dfsg-2.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Can you help me with this? ....Thank you!

Codeblocks appears to be in the Ubuntu Repository.

Start by purging the installation you have now.

sudo apt purge codeblocks

Then reinstall:

sudo apt install codeblocks -y

To fix broken packages it is normally helpful to run:

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

One after another. In future to update it all you should need to do is run

sudo apt upgrade codeblocks
