Specifically, when trying to install freeglut3-dev, I get an error of broken dependencies. I already tried with the classic: fixing the packages and different methods that I found, but nothing is fixing this error. My system is Ubuntu 18.04
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt upgrade
The error When installing:
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

Previous to this, I was having a lot of issues with nvidia, cuda and cudnn, so if I recall properly, I think I added some local repos (added ppas, but not sure) from a university in China . To install some versions of CUDA, those versions worked for Ubuntu 16.04, so this might be making the error. When doing apt update, I don't recall seeing before the format of GET IGN of a file like
Get:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
Ign:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
But I really am very lost and have been working around this for some time. If my guess is right, deleting those should fix this. But I am not sure if that's the correct answer, or even how to do it.
sudo apt update
Get:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
Ign:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
Get:2 file:/var/cudnn-local-repo-ubuntu1804-8.4.0.27 InRelease

All packages are up to date.
Edit: I just checked my history browser to make sure about the adding repos, and I think it was just for conda, not particularly for ubuntu but again, I am not sure if it has any impact. Not an Ubuntu expert:
conda config --add channels https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/anaconda/pkgs/main/
Maybe when I tried this sudo apt-get install g++ freeglut3-dev build-essential libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev and
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.0/Prod/local_installers/cuda_9.0.176_384.81_linux-run
