Answer 1

I'd recommend : sudo dpkg --remove --force-all libopencv-video* && sudo apt-get update

• sometimes it needs the machine to be restarted

Also you could try :

apt-get -f install
apt-get autoremove
apt-get purge libopencv-video*
apt-get purge
apt-get clean

if apt didn't work you can also manually download .deb file and install it using dpkg -i file.deb

• Note: pick the file based on your ubuntu version and arch https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/libopencv-video2.4
