Not enough info. I think the issues are with some internal packages of the system (working fine on mine). For more details you can refer to thread #4159. My suggestion would be to close this issue.

after clone kaldi and extras/check_dependencies.sh, it told me to install MKL, then I face this situation. I also try to install MKL just from Intel's website, but nothing changed, the output of extras/check_dependencies.sh and extras/install_mkl.sh are stay still.

The immediate cause of failure is that apt tries to remove itself, finds that it has not obtained your permissions in a form of the command line flag, and aborts the whole install. But the proximate cause (apt should not normally annihilate itself, right?) is a broken state of your package database. I've never seen apt trying to do the seppuku, and the fact that it does means something.

I did not go through the long list of libraries that it want to autoremove, so do not follow this advice blindly, but first of all, tell apt he's a good boy and has no reason to commit suicide:

sudo apt install apt

This command looks weird, but makes sense. since apt is already installed, but only as a dpendency of a package which is no longer exists, it will be marked as "manually installed", and will always be available as a deb package manager. So this command does not install anything, it just protect apt from harakiri. You've probably experimented with package managers too much (judging by apt's desire to take aptitude to the other bank of Lethe with it). It's a totally correct state of apt: it cannot be installed except than manually, otherwise to install apt you need to manually install apt first, but... uoi see the point.

After you cure apt of suicidal ideation, manually check whether you really need any of the packages it's going to uninstall automatically. If in doubt, use

$dpkg -s atril-common  # What is the package 'atril-common' for, and what's it's dependencies? (the `Depends:` line)
$dpkg -L atril-common  # What files are in the package 'atril-common'?
$dpkg -S `which git`  # From which package the executable `git` came? (same for libraries. Use full path if ambiguous).

I want to know how to deal with this: when I run extras/check_dependencies.sh , the system told me to run extras/install_mkl.sh but when I run extras/install_mkl.sh , the system told me MKL version 3 is already installed.
