Is it possible to fix dependency issues by reverting to previous package versions?
Since I tried to install a package that was trying to overwrite some files used by a service, I then stopped its installation.
Now, apt-get purge returns the following message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.28) but 2.27-3 is to be installed
libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.28-5) but 2.27-3 is to be installed
locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.28) but 2.27-3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Since, I don't want to update those dependencies, is it possible to restore a previous version of the listed packages until they are okay with the current installed dependencies?

It doesn't look like a dependency problem to me. It looks like a sources problem: 2.28 is Ubuntu 18.10/19.04, 2.27-3 is Ubuntu 18.04. Mixing packages from different releases like that is unwise, and may break your system quite horribly.
