You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libperl5.26 : Depends: perl-modules-5.26 (>= 5.26.1-6ubuntu0.5) but 5.26.1-6ubuntu0.3 is to be installed
 perl : Depends: perl-modules-5.26 (>= 5.26.1-6ubuntu0.5) but 5.26.1-6ubuntu0.3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Hi @rskadam718

Have you tried the lab again since? It’s working fine for me.

I note from the command prompt that you did sudo -i first to become root - which is fine. Note that when you are root, you do not need to prefix any command with sudo - although it won’t make any difference other than more typing.

Hi

Actually I’m having the same problem right now.
after using SUDO APT UPDATE , I tried installing Git but the process finished with an error.
Restarting the lab was the only solution I found to this problem , as you mentioned.
