I have the same issue and I'm unable to install the 28 updates that are waiting in the AppCenter.
Error log:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

I think I might be encountering the same issue. Can't update with message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  linux-modules-nvidia-495-5.13.0-28-generic: Depends: linux-signatures-nvidia-5.13.0-28-generic (= 5.13.0-28.31~20.04.1+1) but 5.13.0-28.31~20.04.1+2 is to be installed

Solution: Edit: Finally was able to solve the issue with "sudo apt-get install -f" option thanks to this discussion: https://askubuntu.com/questions/131449/remove-unmet-dependencies-error

Problem: When trying to install updates from the AppCenter, one OS update is not getting installed and I get the following error popup. Also was unable to install new packages using terminal...

This may have been caused by external or manually compiled software.

Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/metainfo/granite.appdata.xml', which is also in package libgranite-common 6.2.0+r2223+pkg122~ubuntu6.1

Also see the Terminal sequence of error faced on the same issue:

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

Recommends: libgtk2-perl but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I have tried to rename both the below files by running explorer equivalent in admin mode and adding a suffix " old" to force unlock / refresh but I continue to get the same error:
/usr/share/metainfo/granite.appdata old.xml
/usr/share/metainfo/libgranite5_5.3.0-1_amd64 old.deb

This issue is persisting across multiple restarts. I will try booting into recovery mode by pressing the shift or esc keys as suggested in https://www.maketecheasier.com/boot-recovery-mode-ubuntu/ and retry under dpkg option....
