Unmet dependencies for vim-tiny package

de flag

I tried some of the available solution, but hard luck anyone able to provide me the solution.

  1. Unmet dependencies installing vim or vim-tiny
  2. Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install'
  3. How to fix unmet dependencies for udev:amd64 error on Ubuntu 18.04?
sudo apt upgrade  
Reading package lists... Done

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.   
The following packages have unmet dependencies:    
vim-runtime : Breaks: vim-tiny (2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu3.1) but 2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu3 is   installed  
vim-tiny : Depends: vim-common (= 2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu3) but 2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu3.1 is installed  
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I tried even re-installing & installing the vim-tiny but not able to do the same. it gives me the error

sudo apt-get install --reinstall vim=2:8.2.2434-3ubuntu3.1

Please add `apt-cache policy vim-runtime vim-tiny vim-common` and check your /etc/apt/sources.list if security and update repo is enabled.

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.
