Any help appreciated !!
I am simply trying to run updates on a debian 9.4 virtual machine I inherited, I keep getting 'E: Unmet dependencies' message, I have tried apt upgrade, apt --fix-broken install, apt dist-upgrade, apt full-upgrade and all result in 'linux-image-amd64 : Depends: linux-image-4.9.0-15-amd64 but it is not installed'. I tried to remove and (re)install linux-image-amd64 which appeared to uninstall but failed to (re)install.
$ sudo apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-amd64 : Depends: linux-image-4.9.0-15-amd64 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
$ dpkg --get-selections|grep linux-image
linux-image-4.9.0-14-amd64 hold
linux-image-4.9.0-6-amd64 install
linux-image-4.9.0-8-amd64 install
linux-image-amd64 hold

Did you do an 'apt update' to update the current package lists?
You also seem to have some packages on hold - why?
