On my Ubuntu 13.04 machine, I used to have the Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers PPA enabled and with a recent update it required Wayland as a dependency. This seems to have broken my package system.
I disabled this PPA so when I try to upgrade, I get the following
sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libegl1-mesa : Depends: libwayland-client0 (>= 1.2.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libwayland-server0 (>= 1.2.1) but it is not installable
Recommends: libegl1-mesa-drivers but it is not installed
libgail-3-0 : Depends: libgtk-3-0 (= 3.6.4-0ubuntu8+gd~r) but 3.6.4-0ubuntu8 is installed
libgbm1 : Depends: libwayland-client0 (>= 1.2.1) but it is not installable
Depends: libwayland-server0 (>= 1.2.1) but it is not installable
libgl1-mesa-dev : Depends: libgl1-mesa-glx (= 9.3~git1309181129.ec44d5~gd~r) but 9.3~git1309171217.a1b6e6~gd~r is installed
libgtk-3-0 : Depends: libgtk-3-common (= 3.6.4-0ubuntu8) but 3.6.4-0ubuntu8+gd~r is installed
libgtk-3-bin : Depends: libgtk-3-0 (>= 3.6.4-0ubuntu8+gd~r) but 3.6.4-0ubuntu8 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
I do not dare doing sudo apt-get -f install
since this will remove a huge amount of packages, including unity, network-manager-gnome, etc.
What should I do?
I tried installing Synaptic (and one of its dependencies, libgtk-3-0) from DEB packages found on Launchpad, but this failed also.
I am ready to remove said PPA totally, using ppa-purge. When I try that, the solutions it presents always imply removing Unity, which I do not want.
Here is the output of sudo apt-get check
