In your vbox, do you get a ping from Google ? If yes then you should able to install openssh-server package.

apt-get update
apt-get install openssh-server

If you don't get a ping from google then your DNS settings are wrong.

at risk of sounding like a complete nub i went into vbox and typed ping google.com and got back 64 bytes from tul01m01-in-f103.1e100.net (IP Address): icmp req=(varied number mostly) ttl=53 time=(40 - 42 ms) guessing that was my vbox getting a ping from google i did apt-get update then after it was finish apt-get install openssh-server and still the same thing about dependencies :/ im kinda new to this programming networking stuff so sorry if im getting on your nerves lol

That was your ping reply from Google. 1e100.net is just Google being sarcastic as 1^100 is a Googol which is where Google's name came from.

It does at least seem you are somewhat trying(unlike some people) so I'd suggest reading some Linux basics https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/index.html

help.ubuntu.com does have amazing documentation (and so does just about every other place that gives it out). If you ever need help with a specific command

command --help

usually works and if it doesn't then there is always

man command

which gives that commands man(ual) page and most of the time has a few examples

The unmet dependencies error can happen randomly on many different components or modules such as libsasl2, libssl, python-wxversion, zlib, libidn, libldap, libkrb, libgssapi, libstdc++, libstdc++-devel and etc, different by each system.

Although the system suggested resolution for the error is to try to reinstall the affected dependency modules by “apt-get -f install” command to attempt to fix and correct a system with broken dependencies in place, however, many users found that the error happens again, throwing up more unmet dependencies for “first level original” unmet dependencies, causing infinite loop of the error.

The cause of the issue of unmet dependencies, despite the fact that the modules and all dependencies have been properly installed, is probably due to corrupted package database, and/or some packages weren’t installed properly. Thus, to fix and resolve the problem, try to run one of the following commands:

sudo apt-get clean

or,

sudo apt-get autoclean

“apt-get clean” clears out the local repository of retrieved package files (i.e. the .deb files). It removes everything but the lock file from /var/cache/apt/archives/ and /var/cache/apt/archives/partial/. “apt-get autoclean” clears out the local repository of retrieved package files, but unlike “apt-get clean”, it only removes package files that can no longer be downloaded, and are largely useless.

After running “apt-get clean” or “apt-get autoclean”, re-run the “apt-get -f install” command in affected modules the show in the error message:

sudo apt-get -f install <module name>

Finally, try to install the package(s) again. It should be able to install properly now.

this is what fixed my problem a few more hours of searching payed off thank god thank you guys for your help WinSCP connects now
