You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nodejs : Depends: libnode72 (= 12.22.5~dfsg-5ubuntu1) but 12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3 is to be installed
          Recommends: nodejs-doc
 obs-studio : Depends: libavdevice58 (>= 7:4.4) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libluajit-5.1-2 (>= 2.0.4+dfsg) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libmbedcrypto7 (>= 2.28.0) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libmbedtls14 (>= 2.28.0) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libmbedx509-1 (>= 2.28.0) but it is not going to be installed
              Depends: libobs0 (= 27.2.3+dfsg1-1) but it is not going to be installed
              Recommends: obs-plugins (= 27.2.3+dfsg1-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

then i tried apt --fix-broken install but then it shows me this error

error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/nodejs_18.12.1-deb-1nodesource1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/node.stp', which is also in package libnode72:amd64 12.22.9~dfsg-1ubuntu3
Errors were encountered while processing:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

i saw a solution on the web that said to use aptitude but i cant even seem to install aptitude . Sorry if this is a very simple error I am beginner but i cant seem to fix it even after trying out all the solutions from the web . Edit : Sorry i forgot to mention that i am using lubuntu 22.04

@darth_epoxy Amry's using Lubuntu 22.04 and it's written in the question.

It looks like there's something else wrong with your package management. A PPA in your software sources is causing the unmet dependencies error maybe.

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.
