I am trying to install Git in Ubuntu 18.04 but it fails with errors. Here is the command that I am using:

sudo apt install git

Here is the error that is shown:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 git : Depends: liberror-perl but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: git-man (> 1:2.17.1) but it is not going to be installed
       Depends: git-man (< 1:2.17.1-.) but it is not going to be installed
       Recommends: less but it is not going to be installed
 libegl1 : Depends: libglvnd0 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.3 is to be installed
 libgles2 : Depends: libglvnd0 (= 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.2) but 1.0.0-2ubuntu2.3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I have tried the following commands but it doesn't help.

sudo apt-get update    
sudo apt-get clean    
sudo apt-get autoremove    
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade    
sudo dpkg --configure -a    
sudo apt-get install -f

Here is the log for sudo apt --fix-broken install

Just overwrite the files during installation:

$> dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libegl1_1.0.0-2ubuntu2.3_arm64.deb

$> dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libgles2_1.0.0-2ubuntu2.3_arm64.deb

Yes, there is a (IMHO small) risk that something might not work properly afterwards.
