Hi im trying to remove sleuthkit form ubuntu but I keep getting thrown this error
**tom@tom-XPS-15-7590:/$ sudo apt-get purge --auto-remove sleuthkit**
**Reading package lists… Done**

**You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.**
**The following packages have unmet dependencies.**
\*\* autopsy : Depends: sleuthkit (\>= 3.0.0) but it is not going to be installed\*\*
**E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).**

I’ve tried running _sudo apt --fix-broken install_ but all i get is
