Bug description:
  Actually, I came across this while I was trying to solve another
  problem in my system. When I installed the ubuntu, turns there was no
  ethernet driver. So at first I manually downloaded the build-
  essentials and then the driver from another pc and then installed them
  into this system. Everything was working fine but lateron during apt
  update the ethernet wasnot working again. So I tried re-installing the
  driver, but then there was some issue with the make file. Then I tried
  connecting the device to internet using USB-tethering and perpromed
  apt update. It was then that there were some descrepancies occured
  which asked me to perform '--fix-broken install'. I did it but this
  error popped up.
