unable to install certbot on Ubuntu 16.04

I tried installing certbot by following the installation guide on the official Certbot site.

Unfortunately I am not able to install following packages

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-get install certbot

error

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-image-extra-4.4.0-70-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-70-generic but it is not going to be installed
linux-image-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-70-generic but it is not going to be installed
linux-signed-image-4.4.0-70-generic : Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-70-generic (= 4.4.0-70.91) but it is not going to be installed
software-properties-common : Depends: python3-software-properties (= 0.96.20.7) aber 0.96.20.4 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems

my current kernel version is

4.4.0-63-generic

Approaches to solve this issue:

UPDATE:

I finally came to a solution by myself.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoremove

I use Ubuntu16.04 + nginx + Certbot

Use this approach:

Ubuntu includes the Certbot client in their default repository, but it's a bit out of date. Instead, try it from Certbot's official Ubuntu PPA, or Personal Package Archive. These are alternative repositories that package more recent or more obscure software. First, add the repository:

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot

You'll need to press ENTER to accept. Afterwards, update the package list to pick up the new repository's package information:

$sudo apt-get update

And finally, install the certbot package:

$sudo apt-get install certbot
