Yes, I've done the following. apt update apt upgrade
However, qemu is not mentioned in any part of the output from those steps. Though it is installed: $ apt-cache policy qemu-system-x86 | head -n 3 qemu-system-x86: Installed: 1:6.0+dfsg-2expubuntu1 Candidate: 1:6.0+dfsg-2expubuntu1 The problems with pcscd arose after using the update-manager to move from 21.04 to 21.10-beta. pcscd is a dependency for another package which is the main reason for using Ubuntu instead of another distro. Specifically it is a smart card reader needed to interact with an increasing number of government sites and services. After removing qemu-block-extra, I get the following when trying to install pcscd : # apt install pcscd Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: pcscd : Depends: libpcsclite1 (= 1.9.1-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1946235 Title: pcscd won't install due to bad dependency version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcsc-lite/+bug/1946235/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
