I am trying to install mongodb on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but it has the following error saying

You might want to run \'apt --fix-broken install\' to correct

Answer 1

Uninstall and remove any Mongo packages.

$ sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*

Check if related directories removed

$ sudo rm -r /var/log/mongodb
$ sudo rm -r /var/lib/mongodb

Recheck for autoremove any remaining mongo packages

$ sudo apt-get autoremove

Configure your directory

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

Force install anything required

$ sudo apt-get install -f

Install from official site: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-ubuntu/

Finally restart your Ubuntu and check status of Mogodb server as you did earlier.
