Summary0007638: Kali 2022.1 can't upgrade packages
Description

While trying to upgrade Kali Linux 2022.1 the following error appears:

Get:1 http://kali.download/kali kali-rolling/main amd64 mc amd64 3:4.8.27-1 [541 kB]
Fetched 541 kB in 1s (698 kB/s)
(Reading database ... 316019 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../mc_3%3a4.8.27-1_amd64.deb ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/mc_3%3a4.8.27-1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
conffile name 'remove-on-upgrade /etc/mc/edit.spell.rc' is not an absolute pathname
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/mc_3%3a4.8.27-1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The problems persists and after that there is no way to upgrade the packages, always fails in the same spot:

sudo apt upgrade 100 ⨯
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mc : Depends: mc-data (= 3:4.8.25-1) but 3:4.8.27-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

apt --fix-broken install does not fix the problem neither clearing the cache and updating again the repository

Steps To Reproduce

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

It seems like there was an issue with the Midnight Commander version you installed. Try removing it and doing the complete update. Then install it again

sudo apt -y remove --autoremove mc
sudo apt clean
sudo apt update
sudo apt -y full-upgrade
sudo apt install mc
