[nmglug] upgrade packages with apt

[Brian O'Keefe]

Hello All,

This is a true saga and if no one wants to read the numerous chapters I 
wouldn't blame you! I made some sort of progress in getting my broken 
pkgs fixed but I fear at a huge price. Many pkgs are now "not needed" 
though I have not removed them. I don't know why thry would now not be 
needed and what that could do. I don't need to autoremove them The info 
is below. My comments are bold.

*After chasing dependencies all over and incorrect pkg versions I bailed 
and ran the force command:*

# dpkg --force depends -P libtiff5:i386

dpkg: libtiff5:i386: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you 
requested:

libsane:i386 depends on libtiff5 (>= 4.0.3).

libgd3:i386 depends on libtiff5 (>= 4.0.3).

(Reading database ... 564495 files and directories currently installed.)

Removing libtiff5:i386 (4.4.0-4ubuntu3.3+20.04.sav1) ...

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-0ubuntu9.14) …

# dpkg --force depends -P libtiff5:i386

dpkg: libtiff5:i386: dependency problems, but removing anyway as you 
requested:

libsane:i386 depends on libtiff5 (>= 4.0.3).

libgd3:i386 depends on libtiff5 (>= 4.0.3).

Removing libtiff5:i386 (4.4.0-4ubuntu3.3+20.04.sav1) ...

Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-0ubuntu9.14) …

*And in fact it is gone and is no longer present in the pkg mgr. I ran 
an upgrade in pkg mgr:*

Pkg mgr. Upgrade:

To be installed

libdeflate0:386

Error: E: 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libdeflate0_1.19-0ubuntu1~20.04.sav0_i386.deb: 
trying to overwrite shared 
'/usr/share/doc/libdeflate0/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different 
from other instances of package libdeflate0:i386

*At this point the pkg mgr showed no broken pkgs but would not upgrade.*

Pkg mgr Terminal output:

A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

*So I ran this which completed without errors but a huge number of i386* 
pkgs were deemed unnecessary

*So that upgrade worked with no broken pkgs.*

*I installed Wine to see if the i386 pkgs were called and got the same 
error with libtiff5:i386 and ended up with broken packages. I ran apt 
upgrade again
*

$ sudo apt upgrade

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgd3:i386 : Depends: libtiff5:i386 (>= 4.0.3) but it is not installed
  libsane:i386 : Depends: libtiff5:i386 (>= 4.0.3) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages 
(or specify a solution).

*So now I have no errors but upgrading pulls in the *libtiff:i386 *pkg 
and then I again cannot do any apt command without the dependency error 
and so I start all over with: *

dpkg --force depends -P libtiff5:i386

*and eventually end up chasing the package in the pkg mgr, using the 
'fix broken packages' option. Then back to the terminal and running all 
of the above again. So now I have tens and tens of obsolete packages but 
I'm loathe to remove them. I 'm also loathe to try an upgradeand get the 
same errors again. I don't want to reboot or shutdown for fear of what 
I've created.
*

*If any of you read through all of this then you're saints!*

*Brian
*
