sudo apt --fix-broken install ERROR

Question

I am trying to do sudo apt-get install kali-Linux-full I'm running into this error that's preventing me from going further. I've tried to clean the file and also remove it but I don't have permissions even though I'm Root. New to Linux so any help, tips, or tricks would be really appreciated.

I encountered this issue. To resolve it I renamed the deb file and then performed the update successfully.

sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/jsql-injection_0.81-0kali2_all.deb \
/var/cache/apt/archives/jsql-injection_0.81-0kali2_all.deb.old
sudo apt-get install jsql-injection

After this I went back to doing the other installations. Hope this helps.
