So, I tried to install mongo on my local machine, a Ubuntu 18.04.
The installation came to a halt with an error
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mongodb-org : Depends: mongodb-org-server but it is not installed
Depends: mongodb-org-mongos but it is not installed
Depends: mongodb-org-tools but it is not installed
[edit] I don't have the original error from the installation. However, if any of you need anything that can help, just let me know
I tried to run 'apt --fix-broken install' and it gives me

/var/cache/apt/archives/mongodb-org-tools_3.6.6_amd64.deb
Then I tried to 'apt-get install -f' and it returns the same error as it did on --fix-broken. Tried to purge mongodb, tried to delete repositories, edited source list to work with 16.04, tried apt remove, tried apt autoremove.
I'm running out of options. Can anyone help me?

Tried sudo apt-get purge mongodb mongodb-server mongodb-server-core mongodb-clients and it returns this
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package 'mongodb' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'mongodb-clients' is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mongodb-org : Depends: mongodb-org-server but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-mongos but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-tools but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
