You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-5.7 but it is not going to be installed
 vlc : Depends: vlc-nox (= 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libqt5x11extras5 (>= 5.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>= 1.2.10) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libva-drm1 (>= 1.1.0) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libva-x11-1 (>= 1.0.3) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libvlccore8 (>= 2.2.0) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libxcb-composite0 but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: libxcb-xv0 (>= 1.2) but it is not going to be installed
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify (= 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4) but it is not going to be installed
       Recommends: vlc-plugin-samba (= 2.2.2-5ubuntu0.16.04.4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

You've already been suggested to run sudo apt-get -f install, have you not? — mikewhatever, Nov 04 '17 at 13:08
Actually,I tried.It`s not working.The problem remains the same. — hbeast, Nov 04 '17 at 13:23
I have been facing this problem while installing mysql and mongodb too. — hbeast, Nov 04 '17 at 13:24
What repositories are you using )please update your question and post them) libqt5x11extras5 is not available outside artful, so I suspect a ppa or mixed repos. — Panther, Nov 04 '17 at 13:53
@Terrance Everything you said has been enabled in the settings,still things did not change. — hbeast, Nov 04 '17 at 14:31
or you can use this https://askubuntu.com/questions/501796/how-to-use-a-sources-list-generator , to generate a new repository. — neferpitou, Nov 04 '17 at 14:32
You will have to file a bug report with the ppa - ppa:videolan/master-daily — Panther, Nov 04 '17 at 15:49

Try:

sudo apt-get -f install

-f to fix the broken dependencies. After this do run the following:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Then again

sudo apt-get -f install

@hbeast - You really need to update your question with that information as it was asked in the comments and relevant to your problem. I also wish to examine your repos , see my comment above. – Panther Nov 04 '17 at 14:19
@Panther repository ppa:videolan/master-daily this was the repo i used – hbeast Nov 04 '17 at 14:36
@hbeast As already commented, that PPA is the source of your problem. – Nov 04 '17 at 17:33
