      After running the update script I get the following;

      You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      expect : Depends: tcl8.5 (>= 8.5.0) but it is not installed
      libexpat1-dev : Depends: libexpat1 (= 2.1.0-6+deb8u1) but 2.1.0-6+deb8u3 is installed
      libjpeg62-turbo-dev : Depends: libjpeg62-turbo (= 1:1.3.1-12) but 1:1.4.1-2 is installed
      tightvncserver : Depends: x11-utils but it is not installed
                    Recommends: x11-xserver-utils but it is not installed
      xfonts-base : Depends: xfonts-utils (>= 1:7.5+2) but it is not installed
      E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
      

      So I ran ;
      sudo apt-get -f install
      I get the following;

      pi@retropie:/etc/apt/preferences.d $ sudo apt-get -f install

      E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

      Any ideas?
