this is what happened when I removed sid and tried to update

[urban hearth]

okay

so its trying to continue resolving what you've asked it to do because you cancelled it half way through

[naive latch]

I didn't tho, it failed

what should I do to fix it?

[urban hearth]

the original cancel

thats what i mean

its still trying to resolve it

okay

[naive latch]

[warm kestrel]

stop pinging me dude

[naive latch]

doesn't mention the removing packages

[naive latch]

I was just rtying to reply to your suggestion

[dusty chasm]

rule 5

[urban hearth]

what the hell is this package

some sort of ime i guess

[naive latch]

it was just a reply
but I can't reply to him in this thread

[dusty chasm]

then dont

[urban hearth]

but whatever it is, it tried upgrading other packages which were incompatible with other ones you have installed on your system

which includes your desktop environment

[naive latch]

what am I supposed to do then

[urban hearth]

okay

[dusty chasm]

is this your full log

[naive latch]

full log from today

[urban hearth]

what?

that package says its not even installing itself

[naive latch]

everything under todays date

I can't send the entier one as it's over the character limit

[dusty chasm]

upload your entire terminal log as a file

[naive latch]

of the terminal I used to call the command? the entire command output didn't even fit into the terminal but I'll send what is still there

nevermind, that also got pushed up by the commands I used to update after that happened

[urban hearth]

okay

well

[dusty chasm]

what is libuim8 anyways

and why did you install it

[naive latch]

the package I tried first said it's a dependency that it needs

[tame meteor]

what package

[dusty chasm]

what happens when you run apt install --simulate xserver-xorg-core

[naive latch]

libstdc++-13-dev

[dusty chasm]

and after you tried installing libuim8 it started removing everything?

[naive latch]

yeah

note that I added sid to the repositories

[urban hearth]

what

version of debian are you running

[dusty chasm]

remove it

[naive latch]

neofetch says Debian GNU/Linux trixie/sid x86_64

[dusty chasm]

what

[naive latch]

but not sure if that broke because of adding the repository

idk

[dusty chasm]

probably some codename

[urban hearth]

oh.

yeah i was looking up the codenames because i dont recognise sid or trixie

you added the development repositories to your already quite instable debian installation

[naive latch]

how can I undo that?

[urban hearth]

did you remove the line from your repos file?

[naive latch]

why did that even start uniinstalling everything

[naive latch]

yes and tried to update after removing

[naive latch]

which lead to this

[urban hearth]

because you told it to upgrade a package from the development repositories, because its newer there

[dusty chasm]

apt install -f --simulate

[urban hearth]

and that package doesnt work with your current installs

[dusty chasm]

try running that

[urban hearth]

so it tries to upgrade everything to acheive what you told it to do

[graceful bobcat]

disable auto translate (the green translate icon in the message bar)

[urban hearth]

because he already started the installation it wants to finish it

or

actually

oh wait no it has changed the version numbers that it wants

okay

[dusty chasm]

apt-mark showhold

[urban hearth]

libreoffice-l10n-en-gb:amd64 libkdecorations2-5v5:amd64 libkf5wallet-data:amd64 libreoffice-l10n-en-za:amd64 goverlay:amd64 libkf5quickaddons5:amd64 reportbug:amd64 libkf5konq6:amd64 breeze:amd64 libkf5mailtransportakonadi5:amd64 libqt5pas1:amd64

[naive latch]

no output from that

[dusty chasm]

apt remove -f --simulate

[urban hearth]

@dusty chasm i guess just autoclean and pray at this point?

[dusty chasm]

"pray"

😭

[dusty chasm]

@naive latch

[urban hearth]

its in god's hands now

and by god i mean torvalds

[dusty chasm]

torvalds wants nothing to do with this appleskull~1

[tame meteor]

linux is a godless os

it shows no mercy

[graceful bobcat]

disable auto translate (the green translate icon in the message bar)

[dusty chasm]

i suggest you just reinstall debian

[naive latch]

I can't do that I have a ton of stuff

[naive latch]

how do I do that?

[naive latch]

can the guide at least be updated to not just say "google it yourself lol"

[warm kestrel]

no

[naive latch]

real nice developers

so you don't want to help but only want to fuck aroudn

it'll come around for you

[urban hearth]

ok well we were trying to be nice and help you fix your stuff even though that's not what we're meant to do, so

we arent here to fix people's linux distributions when they were too impatient to wait for a volunteer to try and help them out

it was your fault you decided to add an unstable development repo to your OS, not ours, because we never EVER said to do that

we do not know how to write fix guides for every distribution

ubuntu is the only one we reliably know how to fix

debian != ubuntu

i'm sorry that you broke your stuff trying to use our software, but it's not our fault when you're the one going out and adding random upstream repositories and trying to install random stuff without fully understanding what you're doing, don't you dare shift the blame onto us

the guide literally says flatpak is the official way, if it doesnt work, the solution would be to ask us about it and we can collaboratively work on a solution, but we would have NEVER said to do what you did
