Having issues with keyboard-confiugration...tried to reconfigure dpkg without success. Hesitant to try remove...

Similar to (perhaps same as?) After Ubuntu update from 15 to 16.04, error in keyboard-configuration package

sudo apt-get install nodejs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
console-setup-linux : Depends: keyboard-configuration (= 1.108ubuntu15.2) but 1.156 is to be installed
nodejs : Depends: libicu57 (>= 57.1-1~) but it is not going to be installed
      Depends: libuv1 (>= 1.6.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

  • Try apt-get -f install with no packages - Just saying :) – M. Becerra Mar 08 '17 at 20:13
  • Did you run sudo apt-get -f install ? – George Udosen Mar 08 '17 at 20:14

    Ah, I thought -f was force and skip problem but it is actually --fix-broken...

    When I ran that I got a different problem dpkg: error processing package initramfs-tools (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.23-0ubuntu4) ... Errors were encountered while processing: initramfs-tools E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

    Edit: There are still errors as noted above, but installation is working..Thanks for the pointer folks!

Had this same issue on Xubuntu 16.04. My resolution was to rename /etc/default/keyboard and /etc/default/console-setup, then run sudo apt-get -f install. This corrected the errors in setting up keyboard-configuration, console-setup-linux, and console-setup.
