@cesarabandeira Please provide details of your set-up as detailed in the link at the top of the screen. if apt-get -f install doesn't work it sounds like you have some 3rd party repo packages installed (or some outdated packages / packages from an older dist) that is breaking dependencies - this may well be a problem on your system and not related retropie.

I need more info though - so I can try and reproduce.

@cesarabandeira also please post the output of

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install

@cesarabandeira That's not the output for all the commands I gave. no dist-upgrade output etc.

@cesarabandeira I'm not sure how you got the dependency issue, but it must be due to some packages installed. Can't reproduce it on my rpi. Might just be easiest to back up settings and use a fresh image - or maybe aptitude could help (probably need to install it).
