给Ubuntu 18.04安装软件时，会遇到类似下面的问题
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libvtk7-dev : Depends: libvtk7-java (= 7.1.1+dfsg1-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
根据提示，逐步安装“Depends”后提示的软件包。最后，Ubuntu 18.04会安装要求的软件包，并删除冲突的软件包。
下面是根据这个办法，安装libvtk7-dev的过程。
$ sudo apt install libvtk7-dev

另外，也可以使用命令“aptitude why-not software-package-name”, 输出中“Breaks”后的软件包，就是有冲突的软件包。卸载有冲突的软件包后，就可以直接安装需要的软件包。
