Cannot install packages due the unmet dependencies

Question

I have dual boot boot on my laptop. I've just updated Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04. When I try to install any package with sudo apt install I get a message:

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:
 ca-certificates-java : Depends: default-jre-headless but it is not going to be installed or
                                 java8-runtime-headless
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

When I try sudo apt --fix-broken install I get a message:

Please edit your question to include what happens when you do a simple sudo apt update — cocomac, Jun 06 '22 at 17:17
Does this answer your question? How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA? — Artur Meinild, Jun 06 '22 at 17:39
I suggest that you remove the xenial source from /etc/apt/sources.list. Also remove any of the PPAs you added that you don't need. (See Are PPAs safe...) Then run sudo apt update again followed by sudo apt autoremove. This will remove orphaned packages. Then you can run sudo apt upgrade to bring your system up-to-date. At this point, if everything was successful, you should be able to sudo apt install packagename for whatever package you are trying to install. — Nmath, Jun 06 '22 at 17:41
When I try to sudo apt autoremove I get a similar message with unmet dependencies. I will paste it into my question. — fetus-elitus, Jun 06 '22 at 17:56
I want to purge linux-image-5.13.0-39-generic but I can't. Message in the post. — fetus-elitus, Jun 06 '22 at 18:45
This answer helped me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72131976/rstudio-not-starting-on-ubuntu-22-04-error-while-loading-shared-library-libcr. Idk whether it is a valid solution but it worked. — fetus-elitus, Jun 06 '22 at 19:18
