mongodb-org is already the newest version (4.2.6).
You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mongodb-org : Depends: mongodb-org-server but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-mongos but it is not going to be installed
Depends: mongodb-org-tools but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).

Start a mongod that listen to 127.0.0.1:27017.

Or specify the appropriate server when running mongo.

Apt is not happy here. run the fix suggested by the output.

Did you try installing mongo from the system’s repos before adding mongodb.org ?

fixed by :" You need to first uninstall the mongodb, you can use:

sudo apt-get purge mongodb-org*

After this, install mongodb through the following commands:

sudo apt-get install mongodb

And then update:

sudo apt-get update

You are done with the installation of mongodb. You can check it by using the below command:

mongo --version
```"

It is not clear what problem you are trying to fix. From some of the post it looks like you are trying to fix an installation issues. My reply was to fix

To start a localhost server use the documentation found at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/

To connect to another server with the mongo command consider the manual at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongo/
