why can't I install some packages after installing virtualbox

Question

After I installed virtualbox, I cannot install some packages. So I removed virtualbox, then I still cannot install the packages.

This is the package:
And this is the error I received.
After I ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade, there is no error and the result is as this:
After I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, I was asked to install libav-tools, then I chose y, and then the error appeared.

Could you try upgrading from a terminal (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) and add any error messages to your question, please? This would help more than a error message only saying "There's something wrong, but I won't tell you what." — s3lph, Mar 17 '15 at 17:09
@the_Seppi hi, there, I have edited the question. There is no error message by running your command. — tqjustc, Mar 18 '15 at 18:51
Can you please provide output in a copyable form, not as an image. — Kalle Richter, Mar 20 '15 at 21:27
are you sure your drive has enough source to install new packages? — Surya Teja Karra, Mar 23 '15 at 17:49

What is output when you run a sudo aptitude remove ffmpeg? Answer the security question with 'N'! – A.B. Mar 22 '15 at 20:01
Hi, the problem is that the version of ffmpeg I install conflicted with libav-tools. After I removed my ffmpeg, I can install libav-tools and everything becomes fine. Thanks. but could you please edit your answer? – tqjustc Mar 24 '15 at 20:26
@A.B. downvote was from me, when I did it your answer was different. – c0rp Mar 28 '15 at 03:19
Very short answer! ;-) – Fabby Aug 09 '15 at 20:42

Run

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and if that doesn't help

cd /tmp    
wget http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/h/hwloc/libhwloc-plugins_1.8-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libhwloc-plugins_1.8-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

The screenshots are somewhat limited in what they show, but can you try the following,

Visit the answer below and follow the steps to get the default sources for apt. Can't tell if you have added any.

How do I restore the default repositories?

( alternative http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/01/restore-your-sources-list-to-defaults.html )

Just to be sure, remove the left overs of lib-avtools,

apt-get remove lib-avtools

&

apt-get clean

Try again,

apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

If it fails again, is there any more information in /var/log/dpkg.log?
