Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 grub-efi-amd64-signed : Depends: grub-efi-amd64-bin (= 2.06-2ubuntu10) but 2.06-2ubuntu14 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

This might be a simple fix. I've searched around and tried some of the common fixes eg sudo apt-get install -f and a few others without any change.

Edit: Here's the requested output:

:~$ apt policy grub-efi-amd64-{signed,bin}

According to the results of apt policy grub-efi-amd64-{signed,bin} the involved packages are currently undergoing a phased update. They are being held back in most cases, but because this is causing a broken packages error in your Ubuntu it would be OK to update them anyway by running the following command:

sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade `sudo apt-get upgrade | awk 'BEGIN{flag=0} /The following packages have been kept back:/ { flag=1} /^ /{if (flag) print}'`

After doing that you should be able to run sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade without getting an error message.
