Hello All, I upgraded a droplet recently to Ubuntu 24.04 yet apache is still depending on 22.04 packages and I am getting the following message: The following packages have unmet dependencies: apache2 : Depends: apache2-bin (= 2.4.58-1ubuntu8.1) but 2.4.58-1+ubuntu22.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed Depends: apache2-data (= 2.4.58-1ubuntu8.1) but 2.4.58-1+ubuntu22.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed Depends: apache2-utils (= 2.4.58-1ubuntu8.1) but 2.4.58-1+ubuntu22.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 is to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Would you please let me know how to solve this issue?

Heya,
You can get a list of actual held packages with:
Try updating specifically those held packages and see if that would help.
If none of these help, you can try to re-install Apache but you’ll need to configure your configuration files again.
No matter what you try to do, create a snapshot prior to that so that you can revert back if something that you cannot fix breaks:
