You might want to run 'apt--fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

    Howe are you trying to install traceroute? You didn't show us the commands. Have you tried sudo apt install traceroute? apt-cache search traceroute shows many choices.

UPDATE:



Your apt package manager is having trouble, you need to run:



sudo apt install -f
sudo apt autoclean


to check for broken installations and clean-up your apt package manager.



You should consider restarting your computer (depending on what apt fixed).



Now you can choose to use the tracepath package (preinstalled in linux) like this:



tracepath google.com


Or install Universe packages traceroute & net-tools with:



sudo apt install -y net-tools traceroute
