not working either.

apt purge libc6-dbg libc6-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 build-essential : Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or
                            libc-dev
 libstdc++-13-dev : Depends: libc6-dev (>= 2.13-0ubuntu6) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).


 I also tried the "apt full-grade" and that didnt work either.
