      Correcting dependencies... failed.
      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
      xfonts-base : Depends: xfonts-utils (>= 1:7.5+2) but it is not installed
      E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

          Try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. But no idea what system/distro you are on etc.

            Hi thx to trying to help me.

            sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade not working.

            I am using fresh copy of retropie 4.2.I just enabled ssh and then installed agent from https://mydevices.com/ to remote control
            rpi. When I do that I get those dependencies problem and apt-get not working anymore.
