Error: Package dependents cannot be resolved

I received some updates and went to update the list.
I received an error that stated: Package dependencies cannot be resolved.
This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or are not installable. Furthermore, there could be conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

I was trying to install a game and started play on linux and it started downloading some files and updating, then a notification appeared stating there were os updates.

Hi broot0999,
since I have same Zorin OS version perhaps you can give me the name of the game and source so I will install it. You were trying 'play on linux'?
in meantime I would go to Terminal
and insert
Code:
sudo apt-get update

Code:
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

EVELauncher Linux - 64 bit - (no steam needed) with Custom Wine. Based on CCP Snorlax's forum post.

recap of lines you have to insert in Terminal
Code:
wget https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1104891.tar.gz

Code:
tar -xvf evelauncher-1104891.tar.gz

Code:
cd evelauncher

Code:
chmod u+x evelauncher.sh

Code:
/evelauncher.sh

during the installation Wine gets updated so no worry.

Hi bro , in reply to your PM
- look in the Zorin linux menu for a program called TERMINAL

- open it

- (with paste/copy) insert the first command line starting with wget ....you find it in my post above

- so you insert all the following command lines one by one after the cursor is returned to ~$
(in my case) will@will-VPCEB1M1E:~$

Just for clarity to Start terminal from Menu | Utilities - it is in the Utilities menu, or use the keyboard short-cut of Ctrl+ Alt+ T, or from the desktop, right-click and 'Open Terminal'.
