Dependency issues after trying to install linux-tools-generic

Claydoh, I couldn’t uninstall or even force-remove both:

linux-intel-iotg-tools-common

or:

linux-tools-common

As apt kept claiming both packages weren’t installed, yet it kept trying to install the package:

linux-tools-common_5.15.0-118.128_all.deb

Over and over again, and failing due to dependency issues. Honestly, it was the only way around the issue that I could see after trying apt -f install, apt --fix-broken install and even sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq linux-intel-iotg-5.15-tools-common before your last reply.

None of the above commands worked as apt insisted the package simply wasn’t installed to begin with, even sudo apt autoremove resulted in an error stating the package wasn’t installed.

At the end of the day, the issue seems to be resolved. Both sudo pkcon update and sudo apt update now run through without error and after a reboot I no longer see the error as reported by Discover.

Thank you for assisting.
