I had somehow messed up the library function. And there's a dependency chain going on. If I wanna delete gcc-13-base. It says
pegasus@pegasus:~$ sudo apt purge gcc-13-base

I'm kinda stuck. How to fix this issue and delete the gcc-13-base forever? I'm on ubuntu 22.10. I was initially trying to install gcc-multilib But it was showing error. So how can I get out of this chain of broken dependencies and libraries. Aptitude also fails
