    You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So I then ran the fix broken install and got this

user@dell:~$ sudo apt --fix-broken 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.
