I'm running Ubuntu Server 16.04 with Emby using ffmpeg. Just yesterday, I started getting the below error when running sudo apt-get update/upgrade. I'm somewhat new to Linux, but I've tried a huge variety of apt-get autoclean, clean, autoremove, etc. I also found a site that suggested installing jessie-backports and re-installing ffmpeg from there (or something called qtox) but i didn't seem to have any luck with that.

Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libavcodec57 : Depends: libx265-102 (>= 2.2) but it is not going to be installed
 x265 : Depends: libx265-102 (>= 2.2) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: libx265-102 (< 2.3) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I got close to using force-remove-reinstreq on libavcodec57, but I figured I should ask the experts first.

Anyone have any advice on things to try? Emby seems to still be working fine (I've gotten a few video errors but that's probably due to some of my files being messed up, not so much Emby)

Edit: and when I run apt-get -f install, i get the below

I ended up using a combination of answers from two different previous posts to sold my problem. The post that was linked as a duplicate led me to this: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/opencv_haartraining', which is also in package libopencv2.3-bin 2.3.1+svn6514+branch23-12~oneiric . I was able to use the solution listed by the OP, first running

sudo dpkg -P libx265-95:amd64

then i ran

sudo apt-get -f install

followed by 

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

I got a RAID error upon upgrading about unbootable system, but luckily I have my system booting from my SSD, not my HDD RAID1 array. So I rebooted the server and everything seems to have come back up successfully. Thanks for the help, much love!
