Can't install Sublime Merge because of unmet dependency

#1

Hello everyone,

I tried installing sublime-merge but I ended up with the following message:

sudo apt-get install sublime-merge

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sublime-merge : Depends: libgtk-3.0 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried installing libgtk from sudo apt-get install but it is already there.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 and kernel version 4.15.0-39-generic.

Thank you for any suggestions

There was a bug with the repository earlier today. If you run sudo apt-get update you should be able to install properly.

I have the same problem now. Sublime repository is added and available. Here is what I see:

user@host:~$ sudo apt search sublime-merge
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
sublime-merge/apt/stable 1103 amd64
  Sublime Merge is a Git Client, from the makers of Sublime Text

user@host:~$ sudo apt install sublime-merge
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package sublime-merge
user@host:~$ 

This is Ubuntu 18.04, fresh installation.
What happened? What should I do next?

Thanks for your help,
Yury
