I have a 11.10 ubuntu server machine located on a VPS that has package problems.



I think this all started with my do-release-upgrade failed part way through. In any case, I can no longer use apt-get to install anything because of unmet dependencies.



root@vpsstart:/etc/apt# apt-get -f install
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... failed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6 : Depends: libc-bin (= 2.13-20ubuntu5.3)
libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.5) but 2.13-20ubuntu5.3 is installed
Depends: libc-dev-bin (= 2.15-0ubuntu10.5)
libmono-corlib4.0-cil : Depends: mono-runtime (>= 2.10.8.1) but 2.10.5-1ubuntu0.1 is installed
libmono-i18n4.0-cil : Depends: mono-runtime (>= 2.10.8.1) but 2.10.5-1ubuntu0.1 is installed
libnih-dbus1 : Depends: libnih1 (= 1.0.3-4ubuntu9.1) but 1.0.3-4ubuntu2 is installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies


My sources.list looks like this:



deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric main restricted universe  
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-updates main restricted universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu oneiric-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner

deb http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib
deb http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib


I've tried apt-get clean and apt-get autoclean and of course I've done an apt-get update numerous times.



Any magic that will allow me to get my package system straightened out?

If you are using Ubuntu as as server, I would strongly recommend LTS releases only. This question cannot be answered because 11.10 has been reached EOL already, and probably will be closed as off-topic.



Take the time to read on how to upgrade EOL versions at the Ubuntu Wiki page , but it would be preferable to do a fresh install.



Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS is the current stable LTS and it will supported until April 2017, but as a server in action I would suggest Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS (due to the LTS new policies). No matter if the page writes (12.04.2 LTS) scroll down and you will find the ubuntu-12.04.1-server image.
