未满足的依赖项：linux-generic
今天我去找奶奶，因为她的电脑有些问题，运行Xubuntu 12.04LTS。 修复’问题’后（Firefox设置为全屏..）我运行了通常的apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade来立即更新所有内容。 相反，我遇到了一些错误，一些包没有正确安装。 所以我跑了dpkg --configure -a 。 我的猜测是，因为Firefox是全屏的，她无法弄清楚如何关闭她的计算机并且只是简单地转过它，可能是在安装自动安全更新的那一刻。 然而，运行dpkg --configure -a只会给我留下关于linux-generic unmet依赖关系的错误消息。 当再次运行apt-get dist-upgrade时，它告诉我同样的情况，我应该尝试使用-f选项。 但是，即使在尝试强制升级时，它仍然不会安装它们。
这是命令的输出（添加了LANG = C，因为默认语言是荷兰语）。

用-f运行它：

我没有关于如何解决这个问题的想法（除了快速重新安装她漂亮的默认xubuntu）？ 试图删除并重新安装linux-generic软件包似乎风险很大，但也许这会解决它？
删除linux-generic将毫无伤害。 它只是一个“元包”，取决于linux-image-generic和linux-headers-generic 。 这两个本身是元包，取决于各自的最新图像/标题包。
您可以通过发布apt-cache show linux-generic ， apt-cache show linux-image-generic和apt-cache show linux-headers-generic 。
元数据包的目的是引入它们所依赖的包，它们根本没有任何function。 另一方面，删除一个不会删除它的依赖 – 所以没有系统的危险。
修复了原始问题后，您当然可以再次安装linux-generic 。
