I have a wife and kid at home and am in the military so i spend some time away from my laptop and usually they don't mess with it, but something happened to it during an update it seems and I have been experiencing MANY issues with apt-get and dpkg trying to update packages due to unmet dependencies. here's the copy from my terminal. hopefully someone can help me. everything i have found so far has not helped, but I have improved my situation slightly. have tried dpkg --configure, apt-get --fix-broken-install, have tried very command recommended and then some. am about to reinstall but I recently got my desktop the way i want it and really don't want to lose the progress. Please help.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04LTS with Pop! GTK Theme
