Unable to install net-tools in ubuntu 20.04

I would like to install the net-tools package in Ubuntu 20.04, but I am getting an error. I have tried:

sudo apt install net-tools

Which gives me this error:

dpkg: error processing package ni-bds (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing: ni-kal ni-usrp-rio-dkms ni-usrp-rio ni-p2p ni-p2p-dkms ni-rio-dkms ni-bds-dkms ni-usrp-rio-libs libnip2p1 ni-rio ni-fpga-interface ni-bds
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

First run:

sudo apt update

then fix your broken packages:

sudo apt -f install

if you need to, you can configure all the packages manually using the following command but this probably won't be necessary:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

or configure an individual package (like in this example):

sudo dpkg --configure ni-kal
