When I use the command
apt --fix-broken install
I get the following errors:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Correcting dependencies… failed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libhogweed4 : Depends: libnettle6 (= 3.3-1+b1) but 3.4-1 is installed
mana-toolkit : Depends: dnsmasq but it is not installable
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies
I am unable to install anything because of this.
What can I do?

This is not a simple problem, and I faced a similar one just a minute ago. I solved it by running (a variation on):
dpkg --force-all --configure -adpkg --purge --force-depends libnettle6(cf. this post)apt --fix-broken installapt-get -f install
