Can't update PopOS 21.04. I've already tried removing all manually added ppa and removing manually installed apps I can think of.

What the heck is going on here? Tried all this...

Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: apt : Depends: adduser but it is not going to be installed Recommends: ca-certificates but it is not going to be installed dictionaries-common : Depends: debconf (>= 1.5.5) but it is not going to be installed or debconf-2.0 Depends: libtext-iconv-perl but it is not going to be installed fwupd : Depends: libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.63.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libfwupd2 (>= 1.5.11-0ubuntu2pop1~1627329462~21.04~3e64f3f) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libfwupdplugin1 (>= 1.5.11-0ubuntu2pop1~1627329462~21.04~3e64f3f) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.67.3) but 2.66.1-2ubuntu0.2 is to be installed Depends: libgusb2 (>= 0.3.5) but 0.3.4-0.2 is to be installed Depends: libjcat1 (>= 0.1.3) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libtss2-esys-3.0.2-0 (>= 2.3.1) but it is not installable Recommends: python3 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: dbus Recommends: secureboot-db but it is not going to be installed Recommends: udisks2 libglx-mesa0 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-dri but it is not going to be installed libglx-mesa0:i386 : Depends: libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 but it is not going to be installed libgssapi-krb5-2:i386 : Depends: libkrb5-3:i386 (= 1.17-10ubuntu0.1) but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

Is there a way to fix this without hosing the entire install? I haven't even installed that much or been using it very heavily, it's a fairly new laptop - a little disappointing but I'd rather try fighting this one out a little more than re-install anything.

Edit for requested info (sorry I don't know why the font is huge):

$ cat sources.list

See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy

Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs

CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.

Edit #2: I commented out all 'groovy' references. For the pop-os-apps.sources and system.sources, I replaced them with identical lines but with 'hirsute' instead. Still looks scary:

Remove hirsute from your /etc/apt/sources.list or the files under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

  • Oh! So somehow I have conflicting repos in there? But wouldn't I want to remove Groovy since hirsute matches my PopOS version and groovy is older? A list I found says: 21.10 impish, 21.04 hirsute, 20.10 groovy, 20.04 focal

  • Oh, I just noticed all the rest say groovy too so I guess your suggestion is probably right. Will give this a try. (Unfortunately this is a different PC so I can't paste sources.list here.)

    Commented Nov 21, 2021 at 19:31
  • sources.list only has 'groovy' stuff in it, although it's all commented out

    Commented Nov 21, 2021 at 19:36
  • Ok I managed to get the contents of sources.list and the files inside sources.list.d directory as an edit. Switching to hirsute seems like I'd be removing a lot of stuff though, do I need to just comment out all the groovy stuff?

    Pulled the trigger on the last. It looked good almost to completion, but of course now I'm getting some "temporary failure resolving 'apt.pop-os.org'.. hoping it's just some temp server issue. I think at least I'm pointed in the right direction now, anyway. I had no idea this type of situation of conflicting repos could even happen without some more obvious alert. It must have been a failed upgrade from a while ago. Thanks!
