When using apt-get install anyPackage and apt-get install -f anyPackage i get the following error: 

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. 
The following packages have unmet dependencies: 
cups : Depends: libc-bin (>= 2.13) E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f

  • what happens if you type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade in the terminal? (The commands only update your software if they work) If that works try sudo apt-get install htop (small system monitor program, to test if apt-get work.) – Alvar Jan 11 '15 at 20:07
  • it produce this error. I have also tried using -f it produce same error as given above. Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree

  • Open the terminal and run the following the following command: sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get install -f libc-bin. I don't think it will fix everything, but you may get a new error message that will tell you more about what packages are missing. – karel Jan 11 '15 at 21:10
  • none of these worked – Talha Junaid Jan 11 '15 at 21:39
  • well, what happened? – Alvar Jan 11 '15 at 21:41
  • I have accidently removed a system package due to which this is broken – Talha Junaid Jan 11 '15 at 22:08

May problem has been sesolved. I have installed the conflicting package.

Solution

Download and extract the package manually

apt-get download libc-bin
dpkg -x libc-bin*.deb unpackdir/

Copy the file to your system

sudo cp unpackdir/sbin/ldconfig /sbin/

Make sure the package and package system is in a good state.

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc-bin
sudo apt-get install -f
