[ ABANDONED ] Error while trying to install something on the terminal

[stevef]

It looks like the (o specificare una soluzione) is required.

The powerctl install is a possible suspect but we need the timeline or more details about powerctl to be sure.
You could check your cli history to see what commands were run to install.

There is a danger in trying to resolve without knowing the problem will make things worse.
Unless someone else has insight then re-installing may be the best choice and the quickest way of getting to a stable system

Consider using 'System Restore Utility' and 'Backups' when building a new system to save time if things go wrong.

I tried to run the command but it gave me an error :


dpkg: errore nell'elaborare l'archivio /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-tools-commo

maybe i should reinstall linux ?

[gaas]

Yes i installed a software called "powerctrl" to get performance, maybe this is why i get the error? And if it is, how do i delete the software?

linux-tools-common is associated with system monitoring applications so it is possible.  We need to know what you did.
I'm not familiar with powerctl.  Do you have any links to the method you used to install ?
Any reputable software should give instructions on how to uninstall and also show what packages it needs (dependencires)

my problem started yesterday

Did your problems start after the powerctl installation ?

If you can directly attribute the problem to the powerctl install AND confirm powerctl uses linux-tools-common then either
1) try the command 'sudo apt --fix-broken install' as we did before without the '--dry-run' option.
2) uninstall powerctl

1) I installed it by a youtube tutorial i don't remember what video
2) i can't really tell if powerctrl caused the problem, but i will try to delete it and see if the problem persists

OBS-studio installs fine for me on a test system using the command line.
linux-tools-common isn't a dependency for obs-studio

When did your problem start ?
Can you recall what triggered it ?
Have you installed or tried to install any performance tools ?

If this is a fairly new set up you may want to consider starting again.

[gaas]

I used this command
sudo apt install obs-studio (i get the error with every program that i try to install)


and got this error
E: Dipendenze non soddisfatte. Provare "apt --fix-broken install" senza pacchetti (o specificare una soluzione).

[stevef]

I've used OBS Studio for a long time on Linux Lite 6.x.  I installed it from Lite Software though.
Can you give me the syntax you are using so I can try installing it on a test set up in the same way as you.

Problem happens also with debian packages

It's a Debian package.

I'm trying to install obs studio, but this error happens with every package that i try to install.

[stevef]

What package are you trying to install from the command line ?

2) no i didn't made a restore point.

[stevef]

The error message is indicating that the package manager (apt) cannot work because it has detected a conflict in package dependencies.
For example, one package may require a certain version of a library package while another package requires a different version of the same library.

Running the suggested command with the --dry-run option should show what apt will try to do the attempt the fix.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt --fix-broken install --dry-runIf you post back with the results it may show us the problem.

If it is more complex (o specificare una soluzione) it will be necessary to try to fully understand how the conflict has been caused.
Once that is understood, it may need low-level commands to try to resolve the conflict.
This can get complicated.

Do you have a System Restore point (aka timeshift) made before the conflict ?
