Dependency resolution failed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libkwin4-effect-builtins1: Depends: libkwineffects9 (= 4:5.8.0-0neon+16.04+build28) but it is not going to be installed

Actual Results:  
I get an error with no suggestion of a fix that states what I pasted above.

Updated the system

Comment 2 Roman Gilg 2016-10-08 00:06:07 UTC 
Try with terminal: Open Konsole. Execute line by line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt full-upgrade

If upgrade and full-upgrade don't work:
sudo apt install -f

Hi Roman,

works for me, but I think Discover is only a GUI for apt-get?

Thanks,

Ribiku

Hi Ribiku,
great to hear that it solved your problem. Somebody else has to answer this question, who is more involved in the development of Discover. I think it uses PackageKit, which again uses an apt backend for updating / installing software.

In any case when updating, Discover seems to do something equivalent to apt full-upgrade. Maybe it should also do apt install -f, in case this doesn't succeed ? Or did already apt full-upgrade fix your problem?
