This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages to permit APT to deduce a likely solution.
If he is like you he says, then the writing of the man is incorrect and its corresponding translation to Spanish also:
Si se usa esta opción junto a «install»/«remove» se puede omitir cualquier paquete para permitir a APT deducir una posible solución.
-f, --fix-broken
Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in place.
This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages
to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. If packages are specified, these have to completely correct the problem. The option
is sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT
itself does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a
system. It is possible that a system's dependency structure can be
so corrupt as to require manual intervention (which usually means
using dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending packages).
Use of this option together with -m may produce an error in some situations. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.
In LM13 Maya x64 the command "apt-get -f autoclean" works fine:
apt-get -f autoclean
