I am trying to install updates.

When I type command apt update && apt upgrade -y This appears ........

root@ubuntu18:~# apt upgrade -y Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libpcre2-dev : Depends: libpcre2-posix3 (= 10.39-3+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1) but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

how to fix?

Then.. I tried suggested command apt --fix-broken install
