Kali Error while installing any package

Question

I had recently installed kali from parrot.

After Successful installation. I run

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt upgrade

Now I am unable to install any package. It shows me error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gsettings-desktop-schemas : Breaks: mutter (< 3.31.4) but 3.30.2-7 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

When I try to run sudo apt full-upgrade, Another error:

 libc6-dev : Breaks: libgcc-8-dev (< 8.4.0-2~) but 8.3.0-6 is to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list:

http://http.kali.org/kali kali-last-snapshot main non-free contrib

And, ''apt-cache policy mutter'':

mutter:
  Installed: 3.30.2-7
  Candidate: 3.36.4-1
  Version table:
     3.36.4-1 500
        500 http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling/main amd64 Packages
 *** 3.30.2-7 100
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Please Help. Is anything extra I had to Post?

Solution

I encountered the same problem and solved it by

• going to /var/lib/dpkg/status
• clearing the contents (these are dependencies in that file)
• running

  apt update && apt install -f

Welcome to the site. Would you mind adding some explanation on why simply installing mutter and gcc-8 would resolve the OPs problem, although there is an indication of version conflicts?
