Dose my Librem 5 have a broken installation and do I need to reflash?

Hardware Librem 5
1

Problem #1
I have apps I can’t uninstall. Example, Librem 5 Tour app. I try unistall PureOS store and terminal. I get message no folds or unmet dependance(something like that). I post help in Element chat think the fix was simple. I got good help, but still have the problem. One I was told that Librem 5 tour was phosh tour, so maybe that why terminal didn’t work. I try use phosh tour and got same results. One of them said I might have a broken my installation. Then try “sudo apt --fix-broken install”. That didn’t work.
I can install apps like “Lollypop” and uninstall them fine.
Problem #2
I have a OS update(Linux-image-6.6.0-… 6.6.29pureos1~byz1) that won’t install. I have try different days, and more than once. I do have a notifications say, “Low Disk Space on “boot””. I don’t know how to fix that or if that problem #3?

I believe the PureOS store is required application as many other programs may be dependent on it. It might be the same situation for the Librem 5 tour.

As for the problem updating the kernel, it could be the /boot partition is full. You can try the command sudo apt autoremove and it may mention removing kernels that are no longer used.

Sometimes apt can get hung up because it is trying to install the kernel first. Try to see if the command worked, or at least copy and paste the error you are seeing

I just installed it myself (I had uninstalled it some time ago) and then removed it again just now with no problem.

Is your system fully updated?

You might try this:

sudo apt install --reinstall phosh-tour

then try to remove it again.

apt search tour
(to see if it can even find phosh-tour.)

sudo apt remove gnome-chess
If that doesn’t work, then Chess might have been installed as a meta package of games.
apt search games
(to see if you have gnome-games installed.)

And:
sudo apt remove gnome-weather
(Not “wheather,” in case you typed it wrong.)

Can you take a screenshot and post it on the forum? Maybe we will notice something that might be overlooked?

One member used dpkg to remove some applications:

So:
sudo dpkg -r package_name

apt search games
and
apt search chess
to see which is actually installed.
Then remove if you want.

By the way, if you search the internet for:
“subprocessing was killed by signal (Broken pipe)”
you might find some useful info.
