Great news, there is an official commitment to add support for certain ARM architectures by Checkmk: Checkmk – our road to ARM support. This could mean, that at some point the Raspberry Pi 5 and subsequent models could use native Checkmk packages. In the meantime, you can continue to vote for the feature request: https://features.checkmk.com/suggestions/297317/arm-support-for-the-cee-and-cme.
Unfortunately, due to native ARM support on the horizon we have decided to retire this project (thank you @martux69 for all your hard work supporting arm64 over all the years). This decision was based on the fact that keeping up with upstream changes has recently become increasingly time-consuming, additionally other (personal) things have become more important, so that there is no longer enough time.
There is, however, a fork of the project being maintained on a "best effort" basis at https://github.com/FloTheSysadmin/check-mk-arm.
If anyone would like to take over, please reach out.

That's perfectly fine. Run apt-get install -f and the installation should complete successfully.
The rrdcached issues many small write requests which may harm your SD card, see: https://forum.checkmk.com/t/checkmk-on-raspberry-pi/27760/4
