I want to use Perf, so I tried to install linux-tools-common with the command:
sudo apt install linux-tools-common
However I got this error message:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

linux-modules-extra-5.19.0-35-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I tried to solve the problem by following the advice in the error message:
sudo apt autoremove
Which let to the next error message:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
linux-tools-5.15.0-73 : Depends: linux-tools-common but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
After running: sudo apt --fix-broken install, I get the same error message as before:
