I had somehow messed up the library function. And there's a dependency chain going on.If I wanna delete gcc-13-base. It says

If I do this it shows:

I'm kinda stuck. How to fix this issue and delete the gcc-13-base forever?I'm on ubuntu 22.10. I was initially trying to install gcc-multilibBut it was showing error. So how can I get out of this chain of broken dependencies and libraries. Aptitude also fails
