Issue
It has been days which I tried installing MongoDB and I had dependencies problem. apt --fix-broken install couldn't solve my problem. I can use sudo apt-get update because of this broken dependencies
I searched for solutions online and everywhere I keep seeing use
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt autoremove --purge
sudo apt-get autoclean --dry-run
sudo apt-get purge mongodb*
sudo dpkg --audit and many more. None of them solved my problem.
I am not able to install any new package, these broken dependencies keep preventing me from doing so.
here is the specific error in the console
Solution
Doing more research, I was able to remove the packages with broken dependencies using
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq <Package-name>
Which in my case was sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mongodb-org, And it worked.
