broken package

[rcrahul60]

when i run --fix-broken install the output is:

pkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libglx-mesa0_18.0.5-0ubuntu0~18.04.1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGLX_indirect.so.0', which is also in package nvidia-396 396.37-0ubuntu1

/var/cache/apt/archives/libglx-mesa0_18.0.5-0ubuntu0~18.04.1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
