That isn't the command I suggested, I suggested this one which will (should) solve any dependency problems:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f
This one does what it says on the packet, it installs any missing packages regardless of type!.

What do you mean "packet"? I had a look at the manual and it's very confusing, it says this is the same as sudo apt-get −−ignore−missing install , e.g. it doesn't download any missing packages, it ignores them instead
Hi @Staynluss,
where did you read that?.
As far as I am aware, the command sudo apt-get --fix-missing install will download any missing packages which may be missing from your system, this would normally relate to missing dependencies!.
@wolfman I read it in man apt-get
Hi,
it will only hold back a package it cannot find otherwise it will download it!:
If a package is selected for installation (particularly if it is mentioned on the command line) and it could not be downloaded then it will be silently held back. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Missing.
