[SOLVED] Unable to resolve unmet dependency problem with apt - pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks

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

enter image description here


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.
