When you are managing Linux systems, you'll occasionally encounter issues with broken package dependencies. This generally means that a package requires another package that isn't installed (or is incorrectly installed) on the system. Such issues can prevent you from installing new software or updating existing packages. Let's explore how to resolve these problems on different Linux distros using their respective package managers: apt, dnf, and zypper. Debian-based distributions use the apt package manager. It's quite robust but may sometimes run into dependency issues, especially when you are using third-party repositories or after an interrupted upgrade process.
