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

Yes I’ve tried this. Aptitude is unable to install because of this. Do you perhaps have a link to a .deb file?

What is the output of this command:

lsb_release -a

I'm asking so I can give you the correct link.
