While reviewing the following article https://gazebosim.org/docs/garden/ins... I came across an error when running the very first command:

sudo apt install python3-pip wget lsb-release gnupg curl

The error is shown below:

Reading package lists... Done │ Building dependency tree... Done │ Reading state information... Done │ lsb-release is already the newest version (11.1.0ubuntu4). │ wget is already the newest version (1.21.2-2ubuntu1). │ python3-pip is already the newest version (22.0.2+dfsg-1). │ curl is already the newest version (7.81.0-1ubuntu1.3). │ gnupg is already the newest version (2.2.27-3ubuntu2.1). │ You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. │ The following packages have unmet dependencies: │ libignition-gazebo-plugins : Depends: libignition-plugin1-1 (>= 1.2.1+ds) but it is not going to be installed │ libignition-gazebo6-6 : Depends: libignition-plugin1-1 (>= 1.2.1+ds) but it is not going to be installed │ libignition-gui6-6 : Depends: libignition-plugin1-1 (>= 1.2.1+ds) but it is not going to be installed │ libignition-rendering6-6 : Depends: libignition-plugin1-1 (>= 1.2.1+ds) but it is not going to be installed │ E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

It states there is an "unmet dependency" called libignition-plugin1-1, so when I attempted to download that using sudo apt-get install libignition-plugin1-1, I observed another error:

Reading package lists... Done │ Building dependency tree... Done │ Reading state information...

I am not sure what this error is referring to, and there does not seem to be any resources online regarding this. I think because of this the subsequent source installation steps are not effective, as after going through all steps, I was not able to set up Gazebo as instructed.

Any help is appreciated
