While installing any packages using the Sudo command I am facing the undermentioned error everytime.

For instance, if I am installing vim using the command $ sudo apt install vim I am getting the following output

Reading package lists... Done

I had tried to auto clean using $ sudo apt-get autoclean but it didn't work.

I also tried to force delete the amdgpu package using $ sudo apt-get --force-yes remove amdgpu-5.6.0.15-1098277

I got the following output

How to fix the issue ?

amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms are the problematic packages here because they are either not fully installed or corrupted.

Follow the below steps to fix this issue:

  1. Purge the problematic packages:

    sudo dpkg -P amdgpu && sudo dpkg -P amdgpu-dkms 
    

    More likely this will work! But sometimes it returns the same error.

  2. In that case, you must manually delete it by running the following:

    sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/amdgpu* /tmp
    

    This will move all the components of the package you listed to the /tmp directory. You can later remove them if you want.

  3. Then run these commands to update the software cache:

    sudo apt update 
    sudo apt upgrade -y
    

Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.
Good Luck!
