I'm new to Ubuntu environment, its been bothering me since a while.

have tried almost everything suggested in the forums but no luck. I don't know if I'm missing something.

OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64bit

~$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server

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
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openssh-server : Depends: libck-connector0 (>= 0.2.1) but it is not installable
                  Recommends: ncurses-term but it is not installable
                  Recommends: ssh-import-id but it is not installable

got it !!, I downloaded the libck-connector0 from Ubuntu package repository , installed it using sudo dpkg -i libck-connector0_0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1_amd64.deb and then tried it again. It worked this time.

and check this link How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA?, this guy covered all possible scenarios for such errors.

  • Just out of curiosity, what is the output of apt-cache policy libck-connector0? That might reveal the original cause of the problem. Because your way is not the cleanest solution, I think... – Byte Commander Jan 08 '16 at 21:48
  • I agree but had to get it working, this is what I got ~$ sudo apt-cache policy libck-connector0 [sudo] password for skillshot: libck-connector0: Installed: 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1 Candidate: 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1 Version table: *** 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status – goutham k Jan 08 '16 at 22:00
  • This is strange. Does the output change after running sudo apt-get update? There should appear a line starting with "500". If not, please show me the output of grep "^deb .*main" /etc/apt/sources.list, there could be a misconfiguration which will cause problems on every future package installation if it's what I think. – Byte Commander Jan 08 '16 at 22:16
  • The output didn't change for apt-cache policy libck-connector0 and for the second command this is the output ~$ grep "^deb .*main" /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main – goutham k Jan 09 '16 at 06:57
  • Very strange, I have no idea... :-/ – Byte Commander Jan 10 '16 at 14:19
  • Please post your /etc/apt/sources.list here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and give me the link. Your problem is solved only partially. – A.B. Jan 10 '16 at 15:29
  • And also the full output of apt-cache policy libck-connector0. (No need for a sudo here.) – A.B. Jan 10 '16 at 15:30
  • here's my sources.list =>http://paste.ubuntu.com/14567877/ and output for apt-cache policy libck-connector0 => ~$ apt-cache policy libck-connector0 libck-connector0: Installed: 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1 Candidate: 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1 Version table: *** 0.4.5-2ubuntu0.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status – goutham k Jan 18 '16 at 16:42
