How to resolve unmet dependencies between containerd and runc?

Question

I am getting this error when I want to install docker.io (sudo apt-get install docker.io)

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: containerd.io : Conflicts: containerd Conflicts: runc E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
