sudo apt remove <insert name of whatever package you installed that didn’t work>

You either have to go forward or backward. You can’t go forward unless you can resolve those unmet dependencies. So just going backward is the right approach i.e. get rid of the problem package. At least then you can use the system normally to apply updates and to install new packages that do work.
