  • sudo apt-get install apache2-mpm-prefork. It is telling you that dependency is unmet and needs installed. – cutrightjm Dec 16 '15 at 05:34

I had similar problem trying to install vlc player . A solution that worked for me was :- in terminal run 

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

I then went to settings > software and updated and changed my download location from a local download to "main server".
