Ubuntu : Resolve errors in Latex installation

Suppose you tried to install latex on Ubuntu 22 with

sudo apt-get install texlive-full
sudo apt-get install texmaker

it get struck in first command only.If you try to kill it with Ctrl +C it
wont work.

we get following message

Running mtxrun --generate. This may take some time... done.
Pregenerating ConTeXt MarkIV format. This may take some time...

Now you try to run

apt-get autoremove

or similar apt-get command to uninstall the problematic package
we get following message

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure
-a' to correct the problem.

How to fix this problem ?

removed these packages using dpkg -r.

sudo dpkg -r context-modules.
sudo dpkg -r context.
sudo dpkg -r texlive-full.

Now again run

dpkg --configure -a

This time it does not get stuck .
