    You haven't provided your OS/release details, but your packages don't match up with any supported release of Ubuntu, meaning you're not using Ubuntu, or have very non-standard sources added (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all§ion=all&arch=any&keywords=gsettings-desktop-schemas&searchon=names https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=python-apt) – guiverc Mar 10 '20 at 08:06
  • https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/software-center makes it look like you have 16.04 installed, but it's better if we are told than having to guess. The obvious fix is sudo apt -f install but your unusual sources are I suspect your issue. – guiverc Mar 10 '20 at 08:08
  • my operating system is 16.04 – MARVALE FAN Mar 10 '20 at 08:16

In order to fix packages, and install unmet dependencies, you can download the Ubuntu Software Install from https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/software-center. Before you downlaod this, try:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

and

sudo apt-get -f install

This is cited from How to fix dpkg error [2]?. There may be a better explanation on there for you. I hope this helps.
