I am new to Ubuntu, having been a Mint+Cinnamon user for about two years. I received a new computer running Ubuntu+Gnome. I thought I would try it with a Cinnamon DE since I was familiar with it, so installed Cinnamon two weeks ago, had been using it with no problem until yesterday.
Now something has happened (something I installed?) that causes upgrades to fail. Cinnamon does not run anymore, in one of the steps taken below, it went away. I'm back to Gnome, though several Cinnamon packages appear to be installed.
When attempting:
sudo apt install cinnamon-desktop-environment
output includes:
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.
The following informat `ion may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
xapp : Depends: libxapp1 (= 2.2.8-1) but 2.8.1+klbkjammy is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
When attempting:
sudo apt upgrade
I receive this output consistently, before and after reboot:
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.

I've done a lot of research but haven't been able to resolve by using (not necessarily in this order):
Synaptic Edit menu->Fix Broken Packages
sudo apt install --only-upgrade gir1.2-xapp-1.0 libxapp1
sudo dpkg -l | grep ^..r (returns nothing)
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt -f install
sudo apt clean
sudo apt autoclean

Advice about next steps to resolve this (to upgrade any app and install Cinnamon) is appreciated.
