Cant use apt because of an issue with linux-image-6.2.0-36-generic

[night beacon]

I tried to do apt update and apt upgrade and it said it has unmet dependencies and i should run apt --fix-broken install. I did that and it prompts me with: Errors were encountered while processing: linux-image-6.2.0-36-generic uname -r says 6.5.0-10-generic And it doesnt say anything how to fix it. Thank you in advance!

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
synaptic : Depends: libept1.6.0 (>= 1.2.1) but it is not installed
Depends: libxapian30 (>= 1.4.19~) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1491726/dpkg-error-after-upgrading-to-ubuntu-23-10#:~:text=So%2C what I did was edited the 'linux' script mentioned in the error. Searched for 'version_find_latest' and modified the while loop to skip it. (I changed '!%3Dx' to '%3Dx') Ran my 'apt upgrade' successfully then undid my change.
