dependencies – KDE Neon refuses to install anything after installing pipewire with dependency install failure
I have a problem with installing ANY new app on my brand new laptop of which I just installed Ubuntu-22.04-based KDE Neon. After trying to install pipewire, the dependencies for it keep failing to install and I now cannot install any new apps even if they are not pipewire. This applies for all apps in every repository in existence.
Here are the error messages after trying to install any app; including pipewire:
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
after sudo apt
anything.
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/pipewire-bin_0.3.71-2~ubuntu22.04_amd64.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/pipewire-pulse.1.gz', which is also in package pipewire-pulse 0.3.48-1ubuntu3
Errors were encountered while processing:
