I was doing routine update && upgrade procedure on Ubuntu 16.04 and it wanted to upgrade some multimedia codec libraries

List of libraries to be updated

I confirmed the upgrade as seen in the picture above. Then the upgrade process returned error code (1) and couldn't finish upgrading.

Broken Pipe, /usr/bin/dpkg returns an error code

Now I am getting this unmet dependency thing when I try to do anything related to upgrade.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 libavcodec-extra57 : Depends: libx265-102 (>= 2.2) but it is not installed

 x265 : Depends: libx265-102 (>= 2.2) but it is not installed

        Depends: libx265-102 (< 2.3) but it is not installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

I am concerned. Is it possible to revert to the state before I try to upgrade?

I have solved my issue by following dpkg overwrite

Specifically I entered:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libx265-102_2.2-1~16.04.york0_amd64.deb
