The goal is to install Microsoft Driver for SQL Server on Ubuntu 18.04 to write scripts using python package pyodbc.
I make steps according this article. The problem is when I run command sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install msodbcsql17 then I recieve next error message:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
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:
msodbcsql17 : Depends: unixodbc (>= 2.3.1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Only relevant discussion of this problem is here. But I have already tried all recomendations:
Remove all relevant packages
Use clean system
Build unixodbc manually
Nothing helped me. Does anyone met same problem or have guide how to install this driver on clean Ubuntu 18.04 server system?

I have Ubuntu 18.04, not installed directly but upgraded from 16.10, I haven't used Steam in a while on this computer (maybe since before the 18.04 upgrade, don't remember) which led to problems, and after a while of trawling the Internet for possible solutions, I had to admit defeat.
I tried the sudo apt-get autoremove/update/upgrade/dist-upgrade series, and it didn't do anything.
EDIT: I have also done sudo apt-get clean, and sudo apt-get install -f.
I also tried a full uninstall via deleting .steam/ and .local/share/Steam/ .
I am aware of the method of simply manually installing the packages, but that isn't working for me, either. Observe:
$ sudo apt install steam

At this point, I don't really know what to do. Especially in response to the line "but 8.3.0-16ubuntu3~16.04 is to be installed". I have Ubuntu 18.04. Why is something from 16.04 going to be installed?
One more try for completion's sake:

gcc-8-base:i386 is already the newest version (8.3.0-16ubuntu3~16.04).
gcc-8-base:i386 set to manually installed.

How did I break my install of Ubuntu?
Tried all top Google solutions. None of them worked for me.
Came across this answer that described how we can reset broken packages.
Take a backup of the file /var/lib/dpkg/status first. Then erase all the contents of that file.
Then run sudo apt install steam. It may prompt you if there are files that already exist and will be overwritten. Best that you check for the differences in the file's contents. In my case, I decided to use the one from the package maintainers itself instead of my own.
Steam installed smoothly. Did not get any unmet dependencies error.
When I tried to start steam, I got an error about glxchoosevisual failed. For this, I then had to install libnvidia-gl-450:i386 library. Note that in my case, my nvidia driver version was 450 so used that. You need to use your version here. That's it! Steam then launched fine.
Sharing it here in case it helps somebody.
Check if you have enabled restricted and universe repositories.
You can also run:
This cleans the local repo from packages so they are going to be downloaded again
apt-get clean
This is reinstalling broken packages
apt-get -f install
I just installed MSSQL 2017 for linux and Visual Studio code for linux on my Ubuntu 18.10 machine.
Both the installation succeeded, but I cannot connect from visual studio to the DB.
I have the following running drivers:
$ odbcinst -j
unixODBC 2.3.7

SQLLEN Size........: 8

but, when I try to install
$ sudo apt-get install mssql-tools unixodbc-dev
I receive the following error:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

unixodbc-dev : Depends: unixodbc (= 2.3.7)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
after a lot of googling, i found a lot of suggestions, but they doesn't run, like try to remove msodbcsql and unixodbc
$ sudo apt-get remove msodbcsql
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Package 'msodbcsql' is not installed, so not removed
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
At this point I'm locked and not able to go ahead.
Has anyone some running solution?
You only need unixodbc-dev if you plan on doing unixodbc-dev development (not required for database connectivity). I'm guessing you can leave it out to avoid confusion here.
And msodbcsql and msodbcsql17 are different packages. msodbcsql (MS ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server) isn't even available on Ubuntu 18.10.
The key in your problem is the error message:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
You need to remove the hold on the broken package. First, I'd try specifically installing msodbcsql17:
sudo apt-get install msodbcsql17
If you still get an error, there are other steps you can take to try to fix the problem of held packages:

Hello guys. Can someone help me about this one? I cant install mongodb because of dependency problem. I already tried updating my linux mint terminal.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mongodb-enterprise-server:
mongodb-enterprise-server depends on libcurl3 (>= 7.16.2); however:
Package libcurl3 is not installed.
mongodb-enterprise-server depends on snmp; however:
Package snmp is not installed.
Installing via dpkg -i mongodb.deb will not include additional package dependencies. You should be able to fix your installation by following up with sudo apt --fix-broken install.
Unless you have strong reasons to avoid the standard process I would recommend following the tutorial to Install MongoDB Enterprise by adding the appropriate repo definitions. Adding the normal package repo will also make it easier for you to update to newer minor releases of MongoDB 4.0.x.

I'm trying to run the build script from HTML5 Boilerplate and I have to install YUM for that. I am on Mac OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8. When I did sudo port install yum, i'm getting the following error. Any idea how can I rectify it and install yum properly?

Previously after installing YUM, i was getting Segmentation Fault, so I uninstalled and installed it again using Macports to get the above error.
I think you've got the wrong end of the stick here. You do not need to install YUM on the Mac. In fact, that act is sheer madness, because you already have a perfectly good package manager in the shape of MacPorts!
Read again what it says
If you're on Mac or Linux...
You've got all your dependencies pre-installed, likely. You may need a yum install ant-contrib or what have you.
The key bit there is "or what have you". That is a cryptic way of saying "or the equivalent command for your package manager". On Red Hat-based systems, the package manager is indeed YUM; on Debian systems, it's APT; on the Mac, it's MacPorts.
So, remove your YUM installation, and simply do:
port install ant-contrib
You can now proceed to actually running Ant.
