In the last couple of days, I have gone through some unmet dependencies issues while upgrading. I tried installing those packages separately but couldn’t find a solution.
I know one solution that is to remove the antivirus from the system. But I’m not permitted to remove it. I am looking for another solution without removing the anti-virus from the system.
It shows while unpacking the package:
Preparing to unpack .../linux-image-5.11.0-44-generic_5.11.0-44.48~20.04.2_amd64.deb ...

I tried auto clean, force install, –fix-broken.. all the possible ways found in the forums. For sudo apt –fix-broken install:

It’s annoying and I cannot install any other packages. Any suggestions on how can I fix that?

Answer
Here is the solution that works for me:
Basically, Antivirus prevents the installation of the packages as my system has already one (McAfee agent).
First of all, I checked the status of the antivirus with the following commands if it is running or not:
# /opt/McAfee/ens/tp/init/mfetpd-control.sh status # /opt/McAfee/ens/esp/init/mfeespd-control.sh status
If it is running then stop the services with these:
# /opt/McAfee/ens/tp/init/mfetpd-control.sh stop # /opt/McAfee/ens/esp/init/mfeespd-control.sh stop
Then check the status again if it is stopped or not. If stopped then I started necessary updates and required installations by this:
sudo apt --fix-broken install
Finally, I started the antivirus again by these:
# /opt/McAfee/ens/esp/init/mfeespd-control.sh start # /opt/McAfee/ens/tp/init/mfetpd-control.sh start
