Hello all!
I haven't seen any messages from the group so I don't know if it still
exists. I miss Ted's summaries and input. So I feel bad that my first
communication in a very long time is me carping about a problem and I
hope you folks can have tolerance for me!
ASUS laptop running Ubuntu 20.04 with Mate desktop
I ran a normal upgrade as indicated by the package manager, which is at
least every couple of days if not daily. I ran the upgrade and all
seemed fine. However, an error symbol popped up in the panel and it
noted there was an apt error and to run "apt --fix-broken install". I've
done this many times in the past and the dependencies or conflicts are
fixed. However, not this time. Here's the output of that command:
$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

It seems like a circular problem of the libtiff5 packages breaking each
other. I've considered removing one or the other but the additional
packages to be removed scares me as so many packages depend on them.
