Tl:dr Can't install GDebi Package Installer even with the terminal command 'sudo apt-get install gdebi'.I'm completely inept when it comes to technology, yet through some miracle I've managed to install Ubuntu onto a computer without an operating system (only took me three days and about three hundred mental breakdowns).Anyway. It appears there is a bug that stops things from installing (they just sit on the task bar thing and say 'waiting to install'. From my reading it seems that this version of Ubuntu can't install third party programs.This led me to the Gdebi Package Installer. However I can't even install this. Again it just says 'waiting to install'.I've tried the terminal command 'sudo apt-get install gdebi' which comes up with a message saying there are 'unmet dependencies' which I have no idea what that means or how to fix.Any help would be great.for my mental state.Thanks.
