Hi all,

I have tried
sudo apt install ea-utils
then

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 ea-utils : Depends: r-cran-getopt but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: r-cran-hmisc but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: r-cran-formula but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: r-cran-ggplot2 but it is not going to be installed

Hello Kiran,

After installing a new version of Ubuntu Linux, you should probably install Qiime again using anaconda.

http://qiime.org/install/install.html

Or, have you considered installing Qiime 2? This new version of qiime is being actively developed and improved, and now is a great time to upgrade.
