ibc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.35-0ubuntu3.7) but 2.35-0ubuntu3.6 is installed

[Raval]

I can not update anything. This keeps popping up. Tried everything I could find online but still not fixed

"libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.35-0ubuntu3.7) but 2.35-0ubuntu3.6 is installed
Depends: libc-dev-bin (= 2.35-0ubuntu3.7) but 2.35-0ubuntu3.7 is installed"

What shows with this:

sudo apt -f install

Please post the output from running the following commands in Terminal -

sudo apt update
apt -s install libc6=2.35-0ubuntu3.7

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

One more to show please:

apt -s install  libc6-i386

Wait, you get no output at all from sudo apt update ?

The output from the command suggested by 1fallen looks like you have something else actively trying to do something with apt packages. Do you have unattended-upgrades running? Does the problem persist if you retry sudo apt -f install when no other apt/dpkg-related processes are running?

If none of that helps, please post the output from running the following command in Terminal -

apt -s install libc6:amd64=2.35-0ubuntu3.7 libc6:i386=2.35-0ubuntu3.7
