i am running ubuntu gnome. when i attempt to do ANYTHING (update, upgrade, purge, remove, install...) with apt, i get

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome-control-center : Depends: gnome-settings-daemon (>= 3.25.90) but 3.24.0-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
                        Recommends: gnome-online-accounts (>= 3.25.3) but 3.24.0-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
                        Recommends: rygel but it is not going to be installed or
                                    rygel-tracker but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

then when i use 

sudo apt-get --fix-broken install

i get:

Preparing to unpack .../gnome-settings-daemon_3.26.2-1_amd64.deb ...

I cannot do anything unless i am using dpkg to install a local package. can anybody help?

i fixed it. it was a problem with my repositories -- i had added the kali repository for the tools, and it was trying to install kali's gnome over ubuntu's gnome. it is all good!
