Try this code it will install nodejs_19.9.0

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/nodejs_19.9.0-deb-1nodesource1_amd64.deb

Explanation:
the downloaded file is saved in /var/cache/apt/archives/ file all you need to do now i forcefully install .deb package
manually, i was able to install version 18 LTS easily with this method

there is a slight change my command because I'm already in the /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory.

Let me know if your need more help

[AftabAhmedAbro]

let me try this

[Grothesk242]

Just deinstall libnode-dev
It does not fit to the nodesource packaged variant anyway.
And this is exactly what apt/dpks is telling you.

you can try deleting your current node version and installing the one you need. Maybe this issue will help #191
