Unable to install anything

Question

I wonder if someone can help me ,

when I try install or remove a package , this is the error I get

dpkg: error processing package libdrm-nouveau2:i386 (--configure):
 package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should
 reinstall it before attempting configuration
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libgl1-mesa-dri:i386:
 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 depends on libdrm-nouveau2 (>= 2.4.38); however:
  Package libdrm-nouveau2:i386 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
                          E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

When I try remove the package I get this error :

sudo apt-get remove libdrm-nouveau2

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

Can you please add some formatting to this to make it readable or perhaps pastebin this post? — heypaleblue, May 24 '15 at 17:39
What are you trying to do? What is the point of removing these packages? — Pilot6, May 24 '15 at 17:45
Wouldn't you just need to reconfigure the package to correct it? sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdrm-nouveau2:i386 — Terrance, May 24 '15 at 17:47

According to Ubuntu Community Help Wiki, try running:

sudo apt-get -f install

From the help page,

This command does the same thing as Edit->Fix Broken Packages in Synaptic. Do this if you get complaints about packages with "unmet dependencies".

Then if you still experience problems, run sudo apt-get check and report back.
