I am currently on ubuntu 14.04 and I am trying to download steam launcher but when I try I get a screen that reads. 

"The package system is broken
 Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Furthermore run the following command in a Terminal: apt-get install -f"

and when I open details it reads. 

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:

linux-image-extra-3.13.0-73-generic: Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-73-generic but it is not installed
linux-image-generic: Depends: linux-image-3.13.0-73-generic but it is not installed"

Please Help Thank You.

It looks like your problem is that some of your packages depend on other ones and this is causing apt to get stuck. I'd say open terminal and run sudo apt install linux-image-3.13.0.73-generic, because that package is not installed and seems to be the cause of the problems. Just install that package and then report back whether it worked. It should resolve that dependency error.

Now looking at edits in the question, your /boot is full, so try running,

sudo apt-get autoremove

to remove old kernels and initrds stored there. Then run

sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.13.0.73-generic.

This should fix the dependency problems

  • I'm wondering if maybe your /boot partition is full. See http://askubuntu.com/questions/89710/how-do-i-free-up-more-space-in-boot – Nick Weinberg Mar 18 '17 at 13:58
