When Ever I try to install something with apt it gives me the following error.
○ → sudo apt install mysql-server

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
emacs27 : Depends: emacs27-common but it is not going to be installed
mysql-server : Depends: mysql-server-8.0 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
When I run the command sudo apt --fix-broken install it gives me this error.

I have also tried sudo apt-get -f install, but this also doesn't work.
