When I try running
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
I get the following
Reading package lists...
Done Building dependency tree

Done libmysqlclient-dev is already the newest
version.
Some packages could not be installed.
This may mean that you
have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the
unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been
created or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may
help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: python-pip : Depends:
python-setuptools (>= 0.6c1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-requests but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: python-dev-all (>= 2.6) but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken
packages
The Error says that you libmysqlclient-dev is already installed and on the newest version.
Please check that.
But it also says you need the following packages:
python-setuptools
python-requests
python-dev-all
Consider downloading/updating these via pip install and then try again :)

my problem is that i did a standard update through ubuntus update programm.
Now everytime I try to use apt for anything, it throws the following error:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libpython3.7-stdlib : Depends: libpython3.7-minimal (= 3.7.12-1+focal1) but 3.7.13-1+focal3 is installed
python3.7 : Depends: libpython3.7-stdlib (= 3.7.13-1+focal3) but 3.7.12-1+focal1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
I so far tried:
sudo apt --fix-broken install

Thank you guys in advance!
I ran into the same issue today and for me this worked:
In our case it is:
sudo dpkg -P python3.7
sudo dpkg -P libpython3.7-stdlib
No guarantees on this being safe or anything, it just seems to have worked for me.
Hope it helps you and others having this problem.

Pip comes installed with Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4.
First check it using:
python -m pip --version
To install it manually:
First, run this code to download get-pip.py using curl.
curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py
Then, run this command in the folder that you have installed get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
It’s weird but I thought apt-get is supposed to retrieve any dependencies. Yet it tells you what it’s missing and refuses to install them. Have you tried to install the dependencies, then pip?
I’m not too familiar with apt-get but I recommend checking the error message to get to the bottom of why it refuses to install the dependencies. Your screen shot doesn’t have the whole message.
The last resort is the force install option. See if it understands --force as an argument. Note that this might put your package management system in a strange state if it isn’t already.
I’m not sure what “ig” is but I do not plan to link other social network applications to this one.
I'm trying to install MatPlotLib for Python3 using Debian 8. The pip3
command asks for the missing dependency: libfreetype. However, this is what happens when I try to install this package!

I've tried a lot of different solutions including using aptitude. Is there anything I might be missing in this case?
This was solved by running:
sudo aptitude -f install libfreetype6-dev
And then selecting no to downgrade the installed version of libfreetype6.
so I have tried installing numpy using Homebrew. While it said on home-brew that I successfully installed it, the program I run couldn't detect it and it recommend using apt-get.
So I got apt-get through fink, but I couldn't install numpy like I wanted to.
The most relevant answer I found online is here:
http://mrprajesh.blogspot.hk/2009/11/e-couldnt-find-package-on-apt-get.html
But it only covers linux and I am not sure how to do the same on an OSX machine. Does anyone has experience with this?
Below is the error message. Any help is appreciated.

In my opinion the best way to installing numpy and scipy, is just download Anaconda, even though its large, things are compiled and just work. If you need a smaller package then get miniconda, and run "conda install numpy". If you don't care for space, just get anaconda.
