解决错误apt --fix-broken install

遇到这个问题好几次了，每次都得重新搜索解决方案，索性记录一下吧。

问题：

用apt安装build-essential时，遇到以下报错：

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
build-essential is already the newest version (12.8ubuntu1.1).
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 autoconf : Depends: m4 (>= 1.4.13)
 automake : Depends: autotools-dev (>= 20020320.1) but it is not going to be installed
 bison : Depends: m4
 cmake-doc : Depends: libjs-sphinxdoc (>= 1.0) but it is not going to be installed
             Recommends: doc-base but it is not going to be installed
 flex : Depends: m4
        Recommends: libfl-dev but it is not going to be installed
 g++-multilib : Depends: g++-9-multilib (>= 9.3.0-3~) but it is not going to be installed
 gcc-doc : Depends: gcc-9-doc (>= 9.3.0-3~) but it is not going to be installed
 gcc-multilib : Depends: gcc-9-multilib (>= 9.3.0-3~) but it is not going to be installed
 libtool : Depends: autotools-dev but it is not going to be installed
           Recommends: libltdl-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

大致的意思就是说：要安装的这个包有个第三方依赖，但是这个第三方依赖包不会被安装，导致要安装的这个包也不会被安装。

解决方案

首先，按照命令行的提示，运行：

sudo apt --fix-broken install

这个时候，会让你安装一些依赖包，会提示你是否安装，选择Y。
解决。解决。

再重新安装要安装的包即可。

后记：

几乎每次通过以下方式下载apt的离线安装包及依赖，然后然后离线安装时，都会报这个错误。苦恼。
