I searched for broken packages on Synaptic Package Manager, but it couldn't find any.

However, I know they exist, because I ran grep Broken /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt.log and there were hundreds of results.

What could be the problem? If I can't use Synaptic, is there a command that will remove all broken packages?

Thanks!

Did you tried sudo apt-get update –fix-missing , sudo dpkg –configure -a and sudo apt-get install -f ? – Nullpointer Feb 09 '17 at 09:10
No I haven't. Can you explain what those commands do? – Luke Feb 09 '17 at 23:30
First execute above command and let me know the final status. – Nullpointer Feb 10 '17 at 05:29
