16.04 installing GNOME, getting "Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages"

Question

I am trying to install GNOME in Ubuntu 16.04 but I get

Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I searched for this and tried to sudo apt-get update and upgrade, autoremove, clean, all those commands, but it's not working.

I also tried using aptitude to install GNOME but it didn't install well.

How can I fix it?

I already tried the above answer but it didn't work to me. please share any other link — Sunil Varma, Apr 03 '17 at 09:06

I've encountered this issue only once before, and I solved it with the command sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get update --fix-missing && sudo apt-get upgrade
