How remove emacs full?

Question

I installed Emacs in my Ubuntu and I cannot uninstall (and cannot install anything more)

▶ sudo apt-get install tig
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 emacs-bin-common : Depends: emacs-common (= 1:26.1+1-3.2ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
 emacs-el : Depends: emacs-common (= 1:26.1+1-3.2ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
 emacs-gtk : Depends: emacs-common (= 1:26.1+1-3.2ubuntu2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I tried to run the command apt --fix-broken install, and I receive this error message:

▶ sudo apt --fix-broken install -y

How can I do to solve this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Try to remove the broken packages which have missing dependencies e.g.

sudo apt remove --purge emacs-bin-common emacs-el emacs-gtk

If that doesn't work, try again with the --force flag added.

How did you try to uninstall emacs initially?

Answer 2

First, remove from Ubuntu software. If not removed, then try to use this command for broken package:

sudo apt remove --purge emacs-bin-common emacs-el emacs-gtk
