Cannot install NodeJS legacy

Question

I am using Ubuntu 15.10. I am trying to install NodeJS legacy but I get this error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nodejs-legacy : Depends: nodejs (>= 0.6.19~dfsg1-3~) but it is not going to be 
 installed

Why not use KVM or ant of the other linux native virtualization options? — Panther, May 26 '16 at 13:19
Thank you guys. I found the problem that I did not remove NodeJS repository — Magneto10, May 26 '16 at 17:34
Hi, @Magneto10 I'm facing the same error. What do you mean with removing NodeJs repository? — rodrunner, Apr 27 '17 at 08:11
@rodrunner i'm facing the same issue did you find the solution. — Thameem, Jun 24 '17 at 08:40
nope. Finally I did not need the legacy and was allowed to work with the latest node version — rodrunner, Jun 24 '17 at 18:10
It's officially half way through 2018 and there is no coherent answer to this problem on the internet. — Rob Truxal, Jun 13 '18 at 22:25

end of 2019 now -- It appears nodejs-legacy is obsolete.
