Lets start by saying i'm made a rather good F up here and tried to install plesk on top of cpanel. I'm not sure why but its done and have a working version of cpanel but with a messed up install in the background. Since this is production i'll rather not wipe it till i've explored my options.
When ever trying to install or remove anything i'm getting this;
root@51-104-209-196:/etc/apt# sudo apt install --fix-broken

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
plesk-core : Depends: plesk-backup-utilities (>= 18.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
As you can see --fix-broken isn't working but if i purge this system of plesk then i stand a chance of repairing the cpanel side of things. I've also tried;

Any ideas rather than 'wipe and start again'?
