Crystal broke apt updates

I’m trying to update yunohost (from 11.2.10.3 to 11.2.11.2).

in the UI I’m getting this error:

**Error**: `"400"`

**Action**: `"PUT" /yunohost/api/upgrade/system`

**Error message:**

You cannot do this right now because dpkg/APT (the system package managers) seems to be in a broken state... You can try to solve this issue by connecting through SSH and running `sudo apt install --fix-broken` and/or `sudo dpkg --configure -a` and/or `sudo dpkg --audit`.

When i run this command I’m also getting error:
sudo apt install --fix-broken

root@cc:~# sudo apt install --fix-broken

Anyone knows how exactly this can be fixed?
