Problem:

You try to install or update an application but it not possible.

You get the error “The following packages have unmet dependencies: …”, example:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 python3-distutils : Depends: python3-lib2to3 (= 3.10.4-0ubuntu1) but 3.10.8-1~22.04 is to be installed
 python3-setuptools : Depends: python3-pkg-resources (= 59.6.0-1.2) but 59.6.0-1.2ubuntu0.22.04.1 is to be installed

Solution:

To solve it, you should enable the update repository. For example in Ubuntu 22.04 the version name is: “jelly” then, the repository name is: jammy-updates

Step by step:

  1. Open a Terminal. Edit the file sources.list
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  1. Enable the jammy-updates and save the file. 
    ## add this line but change the url for the url you're using in the file
deb http://mirror.us-tx.kamatera.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted
  2. update apt
  3. try to install your app again, in this example I’m installing python3-pip
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip
  1. Check your disk/drive using chkdsk.

Besides, you can run chkdsk X: /F in cmd.exe or run the GUI based scan by right-clicking on the exFAT partitioned drive and selecting Properties-> Tools and running the Scan disk tool. The exFAT partition needs the scan to be done to reset it back to read/write capable.
