I'm getting an error notification on startup about broken packages. My computer is very slow. When I follow the recommendation of running the Package Manager or running apt upgrade, I get:

nvidia-kernel-common-465 : Depends: nvidia-kernel-common-470 but it is not installed

I tried:

$ sudo apt --fix-broken install
...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-kernel-common-470_470.57.02-1pop0~1627044105~18.04~f9815ed~dev_amd64.deb (--unpack):

Following link posted by @nobody, I resolved running:

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-driver-470_470.57.02-0ubuntu0.20.04.1_amd64.deb
sudo apt -f install

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
