I ran the following commands in the order 2 days ago:
- sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
- sudo apt autoremove
- sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
now apt package manager is not letting me install any package. I am unable to update the grub either. The computer is able to restart itself as usual.
sudo apt --fix-broken install returns the same errors attaching output anyway:
unmesh@unmeshpc:~$ sudo apt --fix-broken install
