sudo apt-get install git-all

results in this output:

I saw the other similar question, and performed these steps, 

sudo apt-get update --> update package information
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --> upgrade packages on system
sudo apt-get -f install --> fix broken packages

but it did not solve the issue. The git install also causes the "System Program Problem Detected" popup. This is followed by "Crash Report = Sorry a problem occurred while installing software. Package: runit 2.1.2-3ubuntu1.

  • I had the exact issue a few minutes ago. I found the answer here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/771839/problem-installing-package-git-all/771889#771889 – mbrasseau Aug 05 '17 at 16:13

After further searching and experimenting, I found this procedure that fixed it for me:

sudo apt-get purge runit
sudo apt-get purge git-all
sudo apt-get purge git
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git
