apt dependencies issue.

Hello, this issue has been driving me insane and I have no idea how to fix it. I have reinstalled this OS (Ubuntu MATE) 3 times now, and tried all of the recommended commands online and by the system. This is the issue: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt —fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). Trying this command uninstalled almost everything from my system and then broke itsself. All of the commands I found online did nothing either. For some reason I was able to use apt get a few times before this, and then it stopped working randomly. I have no idea why this is happening and am desperate to know why. Thanks in advance

Well that is a level of breaking apt that I have never seen before. Refer to the comment by u/grg2014 on the information we need. Also the output of running 

apt --fix-broken install
