I'm trying to install texlive-full and unfortunately, the answer here could not help!

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Plus I run the command sudo apt-cache policy texlive-full and the output is:

texlive-full:
Installed: (none)

From the solution above I tried to remove libkpathsea6 but it is not installed:

Package 'libkpathsea6' is not installed, so not removed
