tl, dr: Probably the easiest fix is to manually remove all of the
erroring packages and then reinstall terminology and enlightenment.
Unfortunately it's not possible to remove the error packages: all apt
does is repeat the error message.
Looks like a bug in the Linux Mint packages. I would've guessed that
Minut was using the official Debian packages, but this is a bug that
never existed in my packages.
I think it's more likely related to the fact that this machine hadn't
been used for a long time, so there was a lot of updating, and some
unrelated package triggered a chain of dependencies too long to handle.
(The error is caused by the packages not having the right relationships
to move files from terminology -> terminology-data during an upgrade.
But terminology 1.2.1-1 from Debian did not ship /usr/share/locale.
That'd be an obvious bug. So no move would be required.)
Right. It's unsatisfiable.
Are you trying to upgrade across multiple releases?
Not of the OS. But quite possible in some individual packages. I don't know.
That doesn't work
with Debian, I don't know if it can work with Mint. But if you've
already run through apt upgrade, it's too late for that.
It's not a major problem, as I can always wipe the machine and
reinstall. Without enlightenment, unfortunately, as too many
applications executed within it fail to honour the 3840 × 2160 screen
size on this laptop.
The only reason I keep this machine on 19.2 is that it is the last
release that shipped a working Emacs that handled psgml-mode: everything
after it breaks all the XML stuff. I have already marked emacs and
related packages NEVER to update, but so long as I preserve that, I'm OK.
