I made a mistake. I had to update mariadb from 10.0 to 10.2 So did:
$ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server 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: mariadb-client : Depends: mariadb-client-10.0 (= 10.0.33+maria-1~trusty) but 10.0.31-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 is to be installed mariadb-server : Depends: mariadb-server-10.2 (>= 10.2.7+maria~xenial) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
And then tried to remove as I got errors:
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: mariadb-client : Depends: mariadb-client-10.0 (= 10.0.33+maria-1~trusty) but 10.0.31-0ubuntu0.16.04.2 is to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
sudo apt-get -f install
gives me:

I’m stuck, cannot install, cannot remove, cannot update.
What should I do?
