[Bug 1953524] [NEW] Upgrade 20.04 to 21.10

[Charles Simms]

Public bug reported:

I ran the installation to upgrade using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ImpishUpgrades 
section:- Upgrading Ubuntu Desktops to 21.10
but got the following message:
The upgrade will continue but the '/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-ZM0HnK/0993-npm_7.5.2+ds-1_all.deb' package may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.

Now I cant upgrade using the software updater I get the following error
The package system is broken
If you are using third party repositories then disable them, since they are a common source of problems.
Now run the following command in a terminal: apt-get install -f
Transaction failed: The package system is broken
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
node-mkdirp:
