Ubuntu 22.04
Today when I issue
sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unixodbc : Depends: odbcinst1debian2 (>= 2.3.11) but it is not installed
Depends: libodbc1 (>= 2.3.11) but 2.3.9-5 is installed
unixodbc-dev : Depends: odbcinst1debian2 (= 2.3.11) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
then as suggested getting
sudo apt --fix-broken install

How to get out of this hole ?
I have no problems purging any package to solve this issue. This is exactly the kind of edge case which is holding up mass adoption of linux. My gut says lay low until offending package owners push their fix upstream.
I have tried many guesses including ... to no avail ... Suggestions ?
sudo apt-get autoremove
