I'm unsure what the root cause was, but this appeared after upgrading from 18.04 to 19.10 with pronterface (slic3r, etc) installed. I also got the attached screenshot stating "the package system is broken. check if you are using third party repositories. the following packages have unmet dependencies: printrun: depends: plater, printcore, pronsole, pronterface but it is not installed"
I decided to `sudo apt remove printrun` followed by `sudo apt install printrun` and that seemed to make things happy again. Good old "turn it off and back on again." This bug may be closed unless someone wants to look into why the issue occurred in the first place; the scary software reporting popups and hamstringing of the software updater might make average users anxious (and I at least wanted something searchable for anyone else who has these issues.) For what it's worth I had a similar issue with libyubikey-udev trying to overwrite /lib/udev/rules.d/69-yubikey.rules conflicting with libykpers-1-1:amd64 1.20.0-1~ppa1~bionic1 which I'm unsure if it self- resolved or will recur on next boot, maybe I need to kick it as well though I've noticed no issues with my yubikey. ** Attachment added: "Software Updater error message" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/printrun/+bug/1857709/+attachment/5315955/+files/Screenshot%20from%202019-12-27%2016-28-19.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1857709 Title: package printcore (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/printcore', which is also in package printrun 1.6.0-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/printrun/+bug/1857709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
