Public bug reported: Hello.
I attempted to perform a dist-upgrade and it errored out (output not captured). When I tried a second time I received the following output: ---- $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libpython3.12 : Depends: libpython3.12-stdlib (= 3.12.8-1+focal1) but 3.12.7-1+focal1 is installed libpython3.12-dev : Depends: libpython3.12-stdlib (= 3.12.8-1+focal1) but 3.12.7-1+focal1 is installed python3.12-dev : Depends: python3.12 (= 3.12.8-1+focal1) but 3.12.7-1+focal1 is installed python3.12-venv : Depends: python3.12 (= 3.12.8-1+focal1) but 3.12.7-1+focal1 is installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution). ---- When I ran the suggested command I get the following output: ---- $ sudo apt --fix-broken install Reading package lists...
