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 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies...
