I am trying to run some updates on my server but everything fails because apt keeps throwing the error "Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution)."

If I run that command I get a long list off errors.

Running df -h gives me the following (I'm assuming the problem is because my boot partition is full):

Filesystem             Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs                  389M  1.8M  388M   1% /run
/dev/mapper/vg00-lv01   77G   26G   48G  36% /
tmpfs                  1.9G  4.0K  1.9G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                  5.0M   24K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
/dev/sdb1               40G   17G   21G  46% /mnt/block
/dev/sda1              488M  475M     0 100% /boot
tmpfs                  389M  8.0K  389M   1% /run/user/0

I have tried these questions, and the answers just result in the same error "Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution)."

/dev/sda1 disk full - 100% usage

/dev/sda1 /boot is full

How do I free up more space in /boot?

All three pretty much lead back to the "sudo apt-get purge" command, and anything "apt" gives me the same error.

When attempting to run the following (recommended on the ubuntu help site)

sudo dpkg --purge linux-image-5.15.0-58-generic linux-image-extra-5.15.0-58-generic

I get

dpkg: error processing package linux-image-5.15.0-58-generic (--purge):
dependency problems - not removing

this is not a duplicate, the answers in the referenced questions do not work in this case.
