or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mssql-server : Depends: libjemalloc1 but it is not installable
                Depends: libc++1 but it is not installable

Best Answer

This is because both of those packages are in the Ubuntu Universe, to enable that repository you can use,

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"

Note that the Universe Packages are not Officially Supported by Canonical and the Ubuntu Team, but instead by the community. For more information see the Security FAQ
