When trying to download SWI-Prolog using sudo apt-get install swi-prolog, I got a series of errors:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpython3-dev : Depends: libpython3.5-dev (>= 3.5.1-2~) but it is not installable
python3.5-dev : Depends: python3.5 (= 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.4) but 3.5.2-2ubuntu0~16.04.3 is to be

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I did try apt-get -f install, which threw the errors:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done

I also have the same problem(s) when doing a full update using sudo apt-get update or upgrade. How can I fix these errors?
Thanks!
