Apt is broken and I can't figure out how to fix it
by TheJooomes from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5F9EG)
I'm using Pop!_OS 20.10 AMD/Intel version
apt upgrade and --fix-broken
Trying to upgrade as you see will tell me there's unmet dependencies and to try --fix-broken, trying that results in dpkg returning an error code (1).
I've tried deleting the mentioned packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/ and doing all that apt clean and dpkg --configure -a stuff that every search result tells me to do. Nothing works.
I'm no expert, but it looks like the xanmod kernel and some firmware packages are having a fight. I've got no idea how to fix it though.
I installed xanmod quite a long time ago and I know apt has been working fine up until now.
