The following packages have unmet dependencies: containerd.io

Question

I am trying to install the following packages on my brand new ubuntu 22.04 installation.

sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose -y

However I get an error about

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 containerd.io : Conflicts: containerd
                 Conflicts: runc

The full error is below

~/temporary_files$ sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose -y

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:
 containerd.io : Conflicts: containerd
                 Conflicts: runc
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Could you help me solve this?

Answer 1

I think I found a solution. I did the following:

sudo apt-get remove containerd.io
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose -y
systemctl start docker
sudo gpasswd -a $USER docker

Now everything works
