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

Tried to remove installed python3.10 packages but it results in error Unmet dependencies


What does this error message means and is there's a way to fix it?

Try removing the problematic packages ie libpython3.10-minimal libpython3.10-stdlib.


sudo apt remove libpython3.10-minimal libpython3.10-stdlib

If this says to run --fix-broken then remove it manually ie like this


ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info | grep -i libpython3.10-minimal

This shows the truncated file names which contain libpython3.10-minimal. Now move it into a different directory


sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpython3.10-minimal:amd64.* /tmp

Then do


sudo apt --fix-broken install

It will say that libpython3.10-minimal not found so it will reinstall it.
