apt install bsdtar fails with dependency issue on 16.04:


root at czz17163-laptop:~/scripts# apt-get install bsdtar
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bsdtar : Depends: libarchive13 (= 3.1.2-11build1) but 3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Solution:

Include in repository the bsdtar package from https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/bsdtar/download
(wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/liba/libarchive/bsdtar_3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3_amd64.deb )
which works with libarchive13 in version 3.1.2-11ubuntu0.16.04.3 which is included in U16.04

** Affects: libarchive (Ubuntu)
