apt - Why do I always get dependancy errors when trying to install 'ubuntu-restricted-extras'?

Whenever I try to install ubuntu-restricted-extras I always get errors similar to these, however the answer to that question only resolved the errors I had that time, though I get very similar errors every time I try to install it on a fresh install of Ubuntu, the same solution never works for all and I don't think I should ask here every time... I feel that that would get a bit much...




But why is it so? Why do I get these errors (because I didn't used to on previous version of Ubuntu and I'm not sure that other people do)? Is this a bug which I should report or...? I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.



Information Update:



It has been suggested that this could be due to an outdated package list, but this is not the case as I always run sudo apt-get update before attempting and upgrade or new installation, so I do not believe that this can be the problem unless somehow that command is not solving it.
