"Dependency failed for Open vSwitch" when installing

[jingzx22]

Recently I found my Ubuntu WSL always encounters the "Dependency failed for Open vSwitch" no matter what application I am installing, say, Valgrind, which has nothing to do with "Open vSwitch" to my knowledge.

I wonder how could I manage to fix this problem. Thank you for your help!!!

The full output of the issue would be:

$ sudo apt install valgrind
