The following packages have unmet dependencies:

                          Recommends: intel-microcode but it is not going to be installed

Re: Update error

I'm getting a similar error again when trying to install the most recent updates:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  rsyslog: Depends: liblognorm2 (>= 1.1.2) but it is not going to be installed
  firmware-linux-nonfree: Depends: firmware-misc-nonfree (= 20160110-1~bpo8+1) but it is not going to be installed
                          Recommends: intel-microcode but it is not going to be installed
                          Recommends: amd64-microcode but it is not going to be installed

Should I follow the same procedure as recommended above?

Re: Update error

Run in terminal:
$ sudo apt-get update

Run in terminal and put output here:
$ sudo apt-get remove firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree
$ sudo apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-linux
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The 'firmware-misc-nonfree' package comes from backports repository and replaces 'firmware-linux-nonfree' and some other packages. You don't need it, if you use default 3.16 kernel. If you want to have 'firmware-misc-nonfree' in the system, run:
$ sudo apt-get autoremove firmware-linux-nonfree firmware-misc-nonfree
$ sudo apt-get install firmware-misc-nonfree intel-microcode amd64-microcode
