my problem is that i did a standard update through ubuntus update programm.
Now everytime I try to use apt for anything, it throws the following error:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

Thank you guys in advance!
I ran into the same issue today and for me this worked:
In our case it is:
sudo dpkg -P python3.7
sudo dpkg -P libpython3.7-stdlib
No guarantees on this being safe or anything, it just seems to have worked for me.
Hope it helps you and others having this problem.
I am trying to install mysqlclient using pip and getting red text, saying there is no config.h file. I started fixing that and stucked on installing libmysqlcppconn-dev on Ubuntu 20. Terminal says
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmysqlcppconn-dev : Depends: libmysqlcppconn8-2 (= 8.0.27-1ubuntu18.04) but it is not going to be installed
After trying sudo apt install -f libmysqlcppconn8-2 I see
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libmysqlcppconn8-2 : Depends: mysql-community-client-plugins but it is not installable
How can I fix that? Thanks everybody.

Does anyone know how I can fix it?
try to change the distribution
deb [ arch=amd64 ] https://downloads.skewed.de/apt DISTRIBUTION main
of the options on the page (bullseye, buster, sid, bionic, eoan, focal, groovy), only "focal" worked correctly for me.
When I try running
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev libmysqlclient-dev
I get the following

Done libmysqlclient-dev is already the newest
version.

The Error says that you libmysqlclient-dev is already installed and on the newest version.
Please check that.
But it also says you need the following packages:
python-setuptools
python-requests
python-dev-all
Consider downloading/updating these via pip install and then try again :)
I'm trying to install MatPlotLib for Python3 using Debian 8. The pip3

debnub#debhub:~$
I've tried a lot of different solutions including using aptitude. Is there anything I might be missing in this case?
This was solved by running:
sudo aptitude -f install libfreetype6-dev
And then selecting no to downgrade the installed version of libfreetype6.
