Following the guide from here:

Now I am not able to install the SDK at all. I need to use the 6.0.400 deps to fix an issue regarding SqlClient on Linux.

I just tried on a different computer (same OS) that had the jammy deps installed. Following the mixed state scenario 2 steps above gives me the same aspnetcore-targeting-pack-6.0 error above. Stuck, cannot install the SDK now and get on with work.

Seems easy enough to repo, install jammy packages (sudo apt install dotnet6), then follow the mixed state scenario 2 steps.

I believe if you sudo apt purge *dotnet* and sudo apt purge *aspnetcore*, sudo apt autoremove and then reinstall (sudo apt install dotnet-sdk-6.0) as per the instructions, this should wipe everything.

@dylanvdmerwe was this successful output from the same machine? Can you confirm that by running the following 3 commands you were able to fix the issue?

sudo apt purge *dotnet*
sudo apt purge *aspnetcore*
sudo apt autoremove

We'll take a look at updating guidance at: https://github.com/dotnet/core/issues/7699
