You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.30) but 2.30-7 is installed
libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.30) but 2.30-7 is installed
libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.29-3) but 2.30-7 is installed
libc6-i386 : Depends: libc6 (= 2.29-3) but 2.30-7 is installed
locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.30) but 2.29-3 is installed
Depends: libc-l10n (> 2.30) but 2.29-3 is installed
locales-all : Depends: libc-l10n (> 2.30) but 2.29-3 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
apt--fix-broken install also produces same result
unable to upgrade or install anything.

Unfortunately, when upgrades aren't applied regularly, you can get into a position where you see broken dependencies like this. You'll have to track down the offending package, either by running the command like you said you did, and if that doesn't work, try to run apt install <pkg> where <pkg> is each package in the list, until it upgrades. There isn't much we can do to fix this, and would recommend that you apply updates more regularly.
