Start by giving us more information.
Which branch (stable, testing, unstable, mixture) are you running?
What xxx and what yyy?
If testing or unstable, waiting a day or two will/should solve the

Removing xxx with "dpkg -r" should also help.

Is "common sense" really valid?
For example, it is "common sense" to white-power racists that
whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins
are mud people.
However, that "common sense" is obviously wrong.
