Dependencies trouble with uboot

#1

Hello,
some weeks ago I tried configure boot to M.2 instead of from SD card. But I didnt complete it let it be like it was because it is still booting from SD without trouble.

Now I would like to install some packages and I got error like:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

  • rockpi4b-rk-u-boot-latest : Depends: rockpi4b-rk-ubootimg (= 2017.09-2694-g04d66f4b45)*
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

So I used apt --fix-broken install and got

Preparing to unpack …/rockpi4b-rk-ubootimg_2017.09-2694-g04d66f4b45_all.deb …
Unpacking rockpi4b-rk-ubootimg (2017.09-2694-g04d66f4b45) over (2017.09-2690-gdf20631bd8) …

    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Can you help me somebody?
Now I dont want to boot from M.2 because I am satisfied how it is working from SD.

Can I somehow fix this situation pls?

Thank you a lot
