apt equivalent of `brew doctor`?

Question

I recently ran the command sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop -y on an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine. There were some conflicts between some of the dependencies of kubuntu-desktop and some of the unity lens Google drive and Facebook integration and maybe a few other things. Unfortunately apt did not catch these inconsistencies until the installation was already partially underway. I had to spend about fifteen minutes dpkg -r-ing conflicting packages with very little idea what I was actually doing . I can now kind of sort of log in, but I'd like to audit my packages to see if anything is a "weird" state and requires some kind of intervention.

Use dpkg -C or dpkg --audit to check for broken packages.
