General Questions • A process (script?) to check for broken packages

I have recently removed some packages with the use of globs: $ sudo apt remove libreoffice-*, $ sudo apt remove cheese*, $ sudo apt remove shotwell*
I cleaned things up with $ sudo apt autoremove as suggested. Then I got to thinking... what if I some dependency (loose or not) for some other installed package has been removed?

Is there a good series of commands that can check my packages for dependency errors? I have searched a bit, and all sites seem to suggest the same things: similar result, similar result, similar result, etc. Of course there is some variety with forums, such as Ask Ubuntu, but not a whole lot in my searches; a lot of it is 5+ year old stuff, which puts me off.

Any suggestions, guys?
