Comment 3 for bug 1457680

Right now I can't install anything, not even update my system

Any advice or workaround to get rid of tpl.

sudo apt-get purge tpl raises the following error:

[...]

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 linux-tools-3.13.0-53 : Depends: linux-tools-common but it is not going to be installed
 tlp-rdw : Depends: tlp but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

and running sudo apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:
  linux-tools-common
The following NEW packages will be installed:
