Summary | 0004462: apt-get upgrade not working + breaks install due to dpkg. | ||||
Description | Today, I tried installing Steam as root so i installed a few things, but now i can't start steam and/or even upgrade the system. I can't use install and upgrade commands, i tried using lynis to scan the computer for errors but it didn't find anything of importance or related to this error... first i downloaded Steam from official website and then used the following commands: [+] dpkg -i steam_latest.deb root@kali:~# apt-get update && apt-get upgrade Hit:1 http://downloads.metasploit.com/data/releases/metasploit-framework/apt lucid InRelease root@kali:~# apt --fix-broken install Reading package lists... Done root@kali:~# dpkg -D3 -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6-dev-i386_2.25-5_amd64.deb D000001: ensure_diversions: new, (re)loading | ||||
Hi Quanticz, Please refer to the following documentation: Adding additional values added will most likely BREAK YOUR INSTALL (eg ppas/debian/ubuntu), I will ask to close the bug as actually, it's not a kali bug. |

Hi, My repositories sources.list file isn't causing this error. In /etc/apt/sources.list i have only added the following: deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free I have tested running " apt update && apt upgrade " but it breaks because of unmet dependencies and tells me to run " apt --fix-broken install " but now the command doesn't actually fix the broken install, i have also completely removed Steam-Launcher from the system using the search bar in root directory because this error didn't exist before i installed it so maby removing it would help but no it didn't and right after i run the " apt --fix-broken install " commands it shows this: dpkg: warning: files list file for package 'steam-launcher' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed |

The problem is your "apt-get install '^libc6.*'". Why would you want to install all packages whose names are starting with libc6 ? libc6-dev-amd64 and libc6-dev-i386 are not co-installable due to a file conflict that dpkg is reporting to you... so please just remove those package, you should not need them when you use multi-arch (which you do since you have called dpkg --add-architecture). Anyway, it's not really a bug (except possibly the missing conflict between libc6-dev-amd64 and libc6-dev-i386) but a mistake on your side. So I'm closing the ticket. |
|
BTW, a better way to handle the installation of third-party i386 .deb on an amd64 system would be to do this: dpkg --add-architecture i386apt updateapt install steam_latest.deb |
|
And the file conflict has already been reported to Debian too: But it looks like it can't be fixed due limitations of APT's multi-arch support. |
