I have no idea what to do! (dpkg: warning)

Question

I'm sorry, I didn't want to show pages of the same msg.

It's kubuntu 20.04

If there's any info I can provide I will do, but I don't just want to throw a whole load of stuff.

This is the last bit....

There's some information that we're lacking, but I'll work with this. It looks like you're just missing a file from being installed, specifically 'python3-simplejson'.

Try this real quick and restart your computer for everything to possibly need to take effect.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-simplejson

If you're still having issues or if it's asking you for dependent packages try installing (or reinstalling) the usual dependencies.

sudo apt-get install libc6 python

OK folks, thanks for your help. Sorry I didn't get back in touch but my system went offline. I ended up just wiping the disk and starting again so we'll never know what it was now, til the next time! – Ian Cheetham Jan 23 '21 at 16:13
