when I tried to install git in Ubuntu 16.04,
sudo apt-get install git
debconf-i18n : Depends: debconf (= 1.5.58ubuntu2) but 1.5.58ubuntu1 is to be installed
git : Depends: liberror-perl but it is not going to be installed
Depends: git-man (> 1:2.7.4) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: git-man (< 1:2.7.4-.) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
To resolve this problem,
sudo apt-get install --reinstall debconf=1.5.58ubuntu2
but I got the error in the following.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/debconf.prerm: 15: /var/lib/dpkg/info/debconf.prerm: pyclean: not found
