How do I resolve unmet dependencies?

After trying to run a .M4A and a .MP4 (aren't they same thing?) I get a message saying I need to install extra codecs. When attempting to do this, I get an error window stating 'dependencies not met' for the codecs. The error report is this: The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Also, when trying to install system updates to packages it comes up with a error window from 'backhand_helper.py' says 'Packaging System is broken' and asks me to uninstall extra 3rd-party ppas. Clicking details says: `

Thanks :))

    I am voting to close this question as a duplicate since you have successfully solved your problem and the general instructions in the canonical question should be more than enough for the passers-by. – jokerdino Oct 08 '12 at 09:14
  • sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras worked for me. It installed a lot of other stuff, but it gets the job done. – Quazi Irfan Mar 02 '14 at 05:27

If you are running Ubuntu 32-bit, run this on Terminal:

sudo apt-get -y install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

If you are running Ubuntu 64-bit, run this on Terminal:

sudo apt-get -y install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

Run sudo apt-get update first.

Then you can successfully install gstreamer plugins.

As @ThiagoPonte said, install all gstreamer packages, so you wouldn't need to install extra codecs again.

Also check similar question: Unmet dependencies in Ubuntu 12.04?

  • I ran sudo apt-get install -f because sudo apt-get update didn't do anything. It came up with an error window suggesting me to use the first code and this came up: E: Internal Error, No file name for libapt-pkg4.12 – Mochan Oct 01 '12 at 07:28
  • The window says 'The Package System is Broken' and wants me to uninstall 3rd-party ppas. Details show this: – Mochan Oct 01 '12 at 07:56
  • It won't fit here so I'll include it above in the question description – Mochan Oct 01 '12 at 07:57

First Update the system By follwing command in terminal

sudo apt-get update

Fix dependencies using

sudo apt-get install -f
