I have some big problems with my packages in my Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial. In the last few days I've changed my sources.list a lot and I've added some bunches of PPAs. Now I'm lost and don't know what to do.
I think I'm an intermediate Linux user. I started to use Debian 2 or 3 years ago, but I have problems everyday. In some months I had to format my machine more than 3 times due to problems with packages, drivers and multi-architecture.
This problem started when I tried to install VLC media player. They showed me that I have dependencies with libgles1-mesa and the system can't solve by itself. Then it asked me to try apt-get -f install to force the installation of dependencies, but my system can't solve this again.
After a lot of changes and attempts, I couldn't solve my problem, so here is some information about my status. I hope someone can help me to fix this.
I'm sorry about this, but my system is in Brazilian Portuguese. [Edit: the below is partially translated.]

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:

I can't format my notebook because I'll have a lot of problems again to install and configure Android Studio, Java, Netbeans, Vagrant, Composer, Git, VirtualBox, Astah, and a lot of other softwares.
Thanks guys!

From line 1524~1538 i got only errors, i was trying to remove the problematic libs, then on lines 1539~1542 i've restaured my backup of sources.list because i saw in some place that i'll need the sources where i downloaded my packages. After that i tried to install ppa-purge to remove my PPAs but my APT was broken and i cant did that. I've downloaded PPA-Purge with WGET and tried to install with DPKG -i but i got more problems, my system said that i need to solve dependencies first. I tried to use PPA-Purge on lines 1551 and 1552 but it didnt worked because the instalation didnt finish. At line 1564 when i enter "apt-get -f install" it returned for me a giant list of libs and packages that will be uninstaled, about to 1,2GB then i type "N" to cancel the action because it was listed a lot of programs there, like libreoffice, compiz, apt, etc.. Then when I open Synaptic i was able to uninstall only the broken packages(libglapi-mesa, libgles1-mesa-glx..) After this i've rebooted my PC and tried to install VLC, it goes normally and my problem was solved, i dont know how, but it was done. After that I got another problem but i find the solution here: Strange artifacts along window borders after waking computer from sleep mode
Well guys, i want to say thanks to all of you that spent a time to be here trying to help me. Thanks a lot, after more than 3 weeks i solved my problem and i'll try to help others with the same problem. Sorry about my English and I hope u guys understand and learned things here. Good Luck for us, cya :)
