Found thismarketecheasier.com/fix-broken-packeges-ubuntu/Recommendssudo dpkg --remove -- --force-remove ---reinstreq When dpkg is done clean up with Aptsudo apt cleansudo apt updateClean up with AptI am not familiar with Apt, it seems to work. Sounds like the update will be lost.I appreciate seeing your comments. BobSent from my Galaxy Tab A

Is it up to date?Very occasionally I've needed to download the source and rebuild the package locally but it's been because I was doing local development that required an incompatible version of a standard library. It's been very rare though.BearOn Wed, Oct 28, 2020 at 12:58 PM D. Stimits <stimits at comcast.net> wrote:> Hello,
