Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install'- Conflict in linux-image

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 4201 / 2 Years ago, sat, june 18, 2022, 11:40:34

I can't install packages with apt. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 Focal.

Some packages require linux-image-5.11.0-38-generic, as seen below.

:~$ sudo apt install <package>



Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 : Depends: linux-image-5.11.0-38-generic but it is not going to be installed

 linux-modules-5.11.0-38-generic : Depends: linux-image-5.11.0-38-generic but it is not going to be installed or

                                            linux-image-unsigned-5.11.0-38-generic but it is not going to be installed

 linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-38-generic : Depends: linux-image-5.11.0-38-generic but it is not going to be installed or

                                                  linux-image-unsigned-5.11.0-38-generic but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

My kernel:

$ uname -r

5.11.0-37-generic

Can I install 5.11.0-38 somehow? Or downgrade these packages so that they will be compatible with 5.11.0-37?

Edit

The answers are correct and working. I had to turn off my antivirus first in order for them to work.

I found the solution (specific for your issue)

 sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives/linux*

This command removes every file which was causing errors

If this didn't worked

Then

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-modules-5.11.0-38-generic 

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-38-generic

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-generic-hwe-20.04

sudo apt install linux-modules-5.11.0-38-generic linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04  linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-38-generic linux-generic-hwe-20.04

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Also you should disable your antivirus and then run 'sudo apt --fix-broken install`.
