I am trying to import tensorflow in my code, but whenever I try to do that I get this error
Traceback (most recent call last):

to solve this error I used apt-get install libffi-dev this command but again it was not successful and this time I got

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3-apt : Depends: python-apt-common but it is not going to be
installed
Recommends: lsb-release but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).
as suggested on screen I tried apt-get -f install but this time I got this error
