I've been using Ubuntu for a few years now, but I just installed Version 16.04, and I've been having a lot of issues. I'm not a command line expert, but I tried to install some software last night, and it is creating issues (and also not working properly).
When I run sudo apt-get -f install, I see the following message:
Reading package lists... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:
lua-event lua-expat lua-filesystem lua-sec lua-socket lua5.1 prosody

Removing jitsi-meet-tokens (1.0.962-1) ...
dpkg: error processing package jitsi-meet-tokens (--remove):
subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 10
Errors were encountered while processing:
jitsi-meet-tokens
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Can someone help me figure out what I need to do to get this resolved? I'm fine with deleting jitsi, but I'm not sure if that will correct the problem.
Currently there is a red circle with a line through it in the upper right corner that indicates there may be installed packages with unmet dependencies.

If nothing else works, try this. First, back up your status file:
Open the current status file using your favourite text editor
Find and remove all of the text about the package you want to remove, in this case:
Save, exit, and run
