Hello Tomás F. L. I don't know why they changed it. I think you can do the same by two commands: apt-get --fix-broken install apt-get autoclean
As for your fixed synopsis, I meant that -f works with also commands upgrade, dist-upgrade and autoremove, as they may install/remove packages, too. But otherwise your synopsis looks good for the -f option. By the way, option -s does works only with commands upgrade, dist-upgrade, install, remove, purge, check, clean, autoclean and autoremove. The manual is not perfect as for autoremove: Bug #1052864 The respective Debian bug was reported on 2009 and is still not fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341611 Title: [apt-get] The option -f, --fix-broken does not work in LM17 x64 Status in apt package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Linux Mint 17 Quiana 64 bits (ISO v2) Like root: apt-get -f autoclean E: No se conoce la opción de línea de órdenes «f» [de -f]. apt-get --fix-broken autoclean E: No se entiende la opción de línea de órdenes --fix-broken I verified it in a portable and in a virtual machine, always with the same error: E: There is not known the option of line of orders "f" [of -f].
