apt - How to fix unmet dependencies for udev:amd64 error on Ubuntu 18.04?

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.




As usual, I ran:



sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


but then I got the following error:



Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
udev : Depends: libudev1 (= 237-3ubuntu10.6) but 237-3ubuntu10.9 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I tried sudo apt --fix-broken install but did not work and return this error:

The following additional packages will be installed:

The following packages will be upgraded:

I also tried removing(to reinstall it from scratch) udev with sudo apt purge udev but I get this error message:

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I tried some other options that I found on similar problems(unmet dependencies) but one of these errors always comes up:



W: APT had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back (0 vs 6).
Affected packages: udev:amd64



or

udev : Depends: libudev1 (= 237-3ubuntu10.6) but 237-3ubuntu10.9 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I am getting a error mark on the menu bar because of this. How can I fix this?



[EDIT]

As requested by Mark J. Adams this is the output of apt rdepends --installed libudev1:
