After that, even though apt update & upgrade, are working as expected I cannot install or update aany package anymore. Here is, just as an example, the issue:

root@ubuntu-phablet:~# apt upgrade system-image-cli
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 biometryd-bin : Depends: libbiometry1 (= 0.0.3+ubports+a9~20221201182223.8~b117479) but it is not installed
 qml-module-biometryd : Depends: libbiometry1 (= 0.0.3+ubports+a9~20221201182223.8~b117479) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
root@ubuntu-phablet:~#*

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
