Unable to install build-dep for Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64

I am using 22.04.2. Why is linux-signed-hwe-5.19 being picked instead of the currently installed kernel version? The impact of this has been when I update my target kernel with my modified source, it breaks the ability to download any packages as I have conflicts. Any advice would be appreciated.

try `sudo apt install linux-image-unsigned-5.19.0-40-generic linux-generate-hwe-5.19` to add the missing dependency manually. Then run `sudo apt build-dep linux linux-image-$(uname -r)` again

Thank you Arjun, but I do not understand why it is "Picking" a different version in the first place, instead of following the kernel version I just installed?

I did try your suggestion as well, but it ends in an error. This is a clean install of 22.04 LTS. alex@alex-Virtual-Machine:~$ sudo apt install linux-image-unsigned-5.19.0-40-generic linux-generate-hwe-5.19 Reading package lists...

Please Try this workaround below

sudo apt-get build-dep linux linux-image-unsigned-$(uname -r)

"-unsigned" is added extra. Originally answered here :https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75695258/how-to-fix-broken-packages-of-linux-unsigned-image

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.
