    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    kubuntu-full : Depends: koffice but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: koffice-dev but it is not going to be installed
    Depends: koffice-doc-html but it is not going to be installed

    I would suggest kubuntu-desktop instead. KOffice from the 11.10 era is no longer maintained.

      repeat

      sudo apt-get install -f
      sudo dpkg --configure -a

      until the problem is fixed.

      Or, install kubuntu-desktop instead and add additional KDE packages a couple at a time till you get what you wanted installed.

      Also,

      1. Back up current file

      in a Konsole do the following sudo cp /var/lib/dpkg/available /var/lib/dpkg/available.broken2. Delete current ‘available’ file sudo dpgk --clear-avail3. Rebuild ‘available’ filesudo apt-get update

      is a sort of "start over"

          kubuntu-desktop is a subset of kubuntu-full; they differ mostly in the number of dependencies they pull down during installation.

          Would you mind helping us understand a bit more what you'd like? For example, what were you hoping to accomplish by installing kubuntu-full?
