  • @fkraiem noted about the --force-depends, still learning how to behave around linux. Also updated the full output. I am fully ready to follow what you think can work. – Elia Jul 06 '19 at 13:44

    With the things you have done, your system is now probably in a different state than before, so delete everything and post the output of sudo apt-get -f install (and use code formatting with the {} button). – fkraiem Jul 06 '19 at 13:48
  • @fkraiem updated as requested – Elia Jul 06 '19 at 13:53

    There's a conflict about the file /usr/share/doc/libpng12-0/changelog.Debian.gz, maybe it was not properly removed. You can just manually delete it (sudo rm /usr/share/doc/libpng12-0/changelog.Debian.gz) and try sudo apt-get -f install again. – fkraiem Jul 06 '19 at 13:58
  • Seems like things went back to normal now? the red package manager error has disappeared. Running sudo dpkg --configure -a outputs nothing – Elia Jul 06 '19 at 14:02

    Yes, it seems to be fine. You should really upgrade those 116 packages, though... – fkraiem Jul 06 '19 at 14:06
  • how would I go about doing that? just to make sure I don't mess anything again. Is it as simple as sudo apt-get update ? – Elia Jul 06 '19 at 14:08
  • 1
    To upgrade packages it's sudo apt upgrade (you should now mostly use apt instead of apt-get). – fkraiem Jul 06 '19 at 14:10
  • I sincerely appreciate all the help and guidance. Thank you @fkraiem. – Elia Jul 06 '19 at 14:17
