(solved) I am not a noob, but this is confusing: dpkg/apt issue

(Solved) Apt seems to have gotten jammed somehow

What must I do to unjam things?

I have tried many suggestions from various websites but they don’t work because it looks like there is some sort of circular dependency going on here.

mvirts ,

I always forget after fixing these dpkg errors, but it makes me want to try and add better error handling to apt. These messages are utterly confusing, and if apt can solve for an installable set of packages we should be able to make it analyze the root of a failure. Do any other package managers do this well?

waspentalive OP ,

After an install - Geogeba now works too.

waspentalive OP ,

Thanks for all your suggestions! I uninstalled ca-certificates-java and minecraft-launcher , and when I did that the others were removed also. then I re-installed the Minecraft.deb that I had downloaded from Mojang’s site and now Minecraft is working. Next, I will investigate Geogebra.

Actually I think this might be bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1023748 and you might be able to get around it by having an older Java installed or set as the main one when installing the CA certificates package.

planish ,

Your root problem is:


<span style="color:#323232;">dpkg: error processing package ca-certificates-java (--configure):
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> installed ca-certificates-java package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
</span>

It can’t finish installing ca-certificates-java because the script that is supposed to set it up isn’t working. So it also can’t finish installing anything that depends on it, since it doesn’t want to run their scripts until ca-certificates-java is installed properly.

Maybe uninstall ca-certificates-java and what depends on it, and then reinstall it alone, and see if you can get a message about why exactly its script is failing?

use dpkg -r to remove the packages:

openjdk-17-jre-headless:amd64 openjdk-17-jre:amd64 default-jre minecraft-launcher geogebra

Then install minecraft-launcher and see what it says. might be that openjdk is clashing with default-java.

my 2 cents just on this…

Seems like dpkg failed in configuring things in a previous update? Perhaps it was interrupted. You can try to run the configuration process again with:


<span style="color:#323232;">sudo dpkg --configure -a
</span>

See if that helps.
