I try to install nordvpn on ubuntu 20.04 but it keeps showing me something like this

luzw@PL005029:~$ sudo apt install nordvpn
[sudo] password for luzw:

  • The problem is, as always, 6 not fully installed or removed. Whenever you have broken packages you can't install anything else with apt. You need to correct that first. This has nothing to do with the specific package - nordvpn - you're trying to install. – ChanganAuto May 16 '21 at 23:54
  • Run sudo apt update and then sudo apt upgrade. These two commands will update your system. – user68186 May 17 '21 at 00:00
  • @ChanganAuto thanks, and how can i fix it? – ateista34 May 17 '21 at 00:01
  • @user68186 still not working and sudo apt upgrade has the same problem as installing nordvpn – ateista34 May 17 '21 at 00:03
  • You could try using NordVPN without the client. I found the client to be buggy and had nothing but problems. Without the client all is well. And quite easy to use once setup.
