snap showing an error during package upgrade

Steps to issue reproduction:

~ sudo apt update

then trying to view packages that might need an upgrade

~ sudo apt list — upgradable

attempting to upgrade the packages that optionally need an upgrade:

~ sudo apt upgrade

After an attempt of the above command, an error arises, “Error: The following packages have unmet dependencies: libwacom9: Depends: libwacom-common (= 2.2.0–1) but 1.12–1 is to be installed. E: Broken packages”

How to resolve the issue and upgrade the packages:

To resolve the issue, output error has the solution(install dependant module — libwacom-common). Simply type in the below command to do so:

~ sudo apt install libwacom-common

Then finalize your second upgrade attempt by:

~ sudo apt upgrade

All the errors will have gone and your upgrade process will complete without any issue.
