Awesome. I was unaware of that "Mark all upgrades" function. It worked beautifully, and then Bleachbit installed without any problem.

Thanks much!

Part of me wants to say the answer is to use Lite Tweaks (Menu > System > Lite Tweaks) instead of Bleachbit, and the other part of me says to never kick a man when he's down.  So I'd be curious to see what happens if you ran the following in a terminal:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install linux-generic
and/or if in Synaptic Package Manager you selected Reload, Mark all Upgrades, and Apply to view what was available for install before installing it.

Hi folks,


I've run up against a problem in LL 3.0 x64. I went to install the latest version of Bleachbit, and the installer told me there is an older version in the repository. I Closed that message, but the installer would not go on, saying another installer was already running. This happened even upon a fresh boot with nothing else done in the session.


So I opened up Synaptic and it told me there was an error, and to run dpkg --configure -a . It ran, but with errors. I then opened Synaptic and it said there were broken packages that had to be remedied. Turns out the broken package was linux-generic 4.4.0.36.38, which sounds pretty important to me.


I attempted to reinstall the package, but got Internal error. No file name for linux-generic:amd64. A retrybrought the same error.


I don't know if the Bleachbit install error is tied to this other one, but I suspect so. Is there a solution to this?


Thank you.
