    But did you try sudo apt-get -f install with no packages? That's what the error message is asking you to do but there is no evidence you tried that.

Simply run

sudo apt-get update

and then 

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

or python-pip depending on your version.

Apparently fresh install doesn't have full list of available packages cashed.

You can try 

sudo apt-get clean

or

sudo apt-get autoclean

then 

sudo apt-get -f install

it will resolve your problem

For anyone coming across this in the future, simply run:

python3 -m pip install [package]

It seems Ubuntu on windows 10 is not up-to-date when install, run simply:

sudo apt-get update

if Python2:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

if Python3:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

To get pip for python3 (Python 2 is available by default for pip)
