I think you need to break up the apt command into several of them,
with clean in between (if needed: apt might clean automatically;
IDK as I use apt-get).

Install the dependencies of dependencies first, then the dependencies,
then the packages *with* those dependencies, ie starting from the
bottom of the tree of dependencies.
