Package dependencies cannot be resolved when installing codeblocks

Question

Whenever I try to install codeblocks I get this error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 codeblocks : Depends: codeblocks-common (= 12.11-3) but it is not going to be installed

Answer 1

Install codeblocks-common first, then install codeblocks.

Answer 2

You need to install codeblocks-common first. You can do this either through Ubuntu Software Center or terminal using the following command

sudo apt-get install codeblocks-common

or you can handle the unmet dependecies with the following command

sudo apt-get -f install
