I tried to install mono for Ubuntu 20.04.
I used these commands.
sudo apt install gnupg ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-focal main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update
After that I ran this command sudo apt install mono-devel
and got this output:

Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

I don't actually want mono anymore and would just like it removed and this problem fixed.
