I am not a really experienced user with Ubuntu dependencies management and I am faced with an issue I cannot solve my self.
My Ubuntu version is the following:
- OS Name: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
- OS Type: 64-bit
- GNOME Version: 3.36.8
- Windowing System: X11
When I try to install something new on my computer I get the following error:
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
nomacs : Depends: libquazip5-1 (>= 0.7.3) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: nomacs-l10n (= 3.12.0+dfsg-3) but it is not going to be installed
pulseaudio : Depends: libpulse0 (= 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.10) but 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.11 is to be installed
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth : Depends: pulseaudio (= 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.11)
pulseaudio-module-jack : Depends: pulseaudio (= 1:13.99.1-1ubuntu3.11)
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
and, then, if I try to execute the recommended command apt --fix-broken install I get the following output:
workstation@workstation $ sudo apt --fix-broken install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
pulseaudio

Update 1
After the recommendation of David to run the command sudo apt autoremove I get again the following error:
