Cannot install any package on ubuntu 22.04

dz flag

Whenever I try to install any package, I get the following error:

sudo apt-get install apache2:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 apache2 : Depends: apache2-bin (= 2.4.52-1ubuntu4.4) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: apache2-data (= 2.4.52-1ubuntu4.4) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: apache2-utils (= 2.4.52-1ubuntu4.4)
 docker-ce : Depends: docker-ce-cli but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Whenever I try to fix it, the following error occurs:

sudo apt --fix-broken install:

You should remove or disable unofficial sources and PPAs, then `update` and `upgrade` your packages in `apt`. Once your package management issues are resolved you should be able to add new software. Take care when (re)adding unofficial sources because they could create package conflicts on your system. See also: [Are PPAs safe...](https://askubuntu.com/a/35636)

Do you have Podman installed? I guess having both Docker and Podman doesn't make much sense..
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
