You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies: kubeadm : Depends: kubernetes-cni (>= 0.8.7) kubelet : Depends: kubernetes-cni (>= 0.8.7) openssh-server : Depends: openssh-sftp-server Recommends: ncurses-term but it is not going to be installed Recommends: ssh-import-id but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

ok... got it working dealing with dpkg directly.
$ sudo dpkg -r kubeadm
(Reading database ... 204269 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing kubeadm (1.22.2-00) ...
$ sudo dpkg -r kubelet
(Reading database ... 204268 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing kubelet (1.22.2-00) ...
$ sudo dpkg -r podman
(Reading database ... 204266 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing podman (100:3.3.1-1) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.1-1) ...and now I can install anything I need :)
