Specifically, when trying to install freeglut3-dev, I get an error of broken dependencies. I already tried with the classic: fixing the packages and different methods that I found, but nothing is fixing this error. My system is Ubuntu 18.04
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt upgrade
The error When installing:
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

Previous to this, I was having a lot of issues with nvidia, cuda and cudnn, so if I recall properly, I think I added some local repos (added ppas, but not sure) from a university in China . To install some versions of CUDA, those versions worked for Ubuntu 16.04, so this might be making the error. When doing apt update, I don't recall seeing before the format of GET IGN of a file like
Get:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
Ign:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
But I really am very lost and have been working around this for some time. If my guess is right, deleting those should fix this. But I am not sure if that's the correct answer, or even how to do it.
sudo apt update
Get:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
Ign:1 file:/var/cuda-repo-ubuntu1804-11-6-local InRelease
Get:2 file:/var/cudnn-local-repo-ubuntu1804-8.4.0.27 InRelease

All packages are up to date.
Edit: I just checked my history browser to make sure about the adding repos, and I think it was just for conda, not particularly for ubuntu but again, I am not sure if it has any impact. Not an Ubuntu expert:
conda config --add channels https://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/anaconda/pkgs/main/
Maybe when I tried this sudo apt-get install g++ freeglut3-dev build-essential libx11-dev libxmu-dev libxi-dev libglu1-mesa libglu1-mesa-dev and
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/9.0/Prod/local_installers/cuda_9.0.176_384.81_linux-run
