Seems like a bunch of broken dependencies all around.

Is this a bad sync from Debian to PureOS project repos? Am I unwittingly tracking a bleeding edge development release of PureOS? :smiley:

I would need to know what is in your /etc/apt/sources.list and/or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

It appears to my (slightly educated) eyes that something is up with the repo since apt update is working fine.

I didn’t modify them after installation, they were whatever PureOS set up by default. I literally just tried installing my dev environment after PureOS finished installing and had broken dependencies like this.

I would tell you my apt sources but I wiped and reinstalled to Debian Buster since I needed to get something working. There was more broken than just this, FWIW.

Besides broken dependencies, libu2f didn’t seem to be installed by default so neither Pure browser (nor Firefox) could see my yubikey, the lock screen wouldn’t accept my password (no matter how many times and how carefully I typed), but switching user and then selecting my account to log into worked fine.

It seemed like I was tracking a dev repo of some kind.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
