Problem with installing libwrap0-dev on KUbuntu1604

[agatte]

Hello Guys,

I am trying to install a missing package libwrap0-dev.
I got some issues with this package.

1604:~$ sudo apt-get install libwrap0-dev

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libtiff5-dev : Depends: libtiffxx5 (= 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.6) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
agatak@modellar-1604:~$ apt-get -f install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?

Unfortunately, support for Kubuntu 16.04 has ended. Usually this kind of error comes from not updating your package list prior to installing. SInce 16.04 is End Of Life, it may never be.

You can try:

sudo apt update
sudo --configure -a
sudo apt install -f

If you're getting a "cannot get lock" message, that usually means you had an interrupted apt or apt-get operation. You have to go to where the lock file is and delete it. Like these messages from above:

E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), are you root?
