FIXED !

sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends libkpim5akonadisearch-data
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libakonadisearch-data_4:24.12.3-0ubuntu1_all.deb

I’ve seen similar errors in the past, but I don’t speak French and don’t remember exactly what I did.

Someone else is suggesting a full reinstall. I don’t think you need to do that. And if you’re going to do that anyway, you may as well try to fix it first.

Can you uninstall the packages it is complaining about?

I tried to, but i'm trapped in an endless loop of broken dependancies.

stem@stem-kubuntu:~$ sudo apt remove libkpim5akonadisearch-data

If it’s just a small number of packages can you force remove them without it checking for dependencies?

I think apt has an option for that. If not I’m pretty sure dpkg has such an option.

[–] Merlu@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I looked into the manual, but didn't found a such thing.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

To force remove a package using dpkg, you can use the command dpkg --remove --force-all [package_name]. However, be cautious as this method can lead to system instability if not used properly.

Though like I say, I would only do this if it’s a small number of packages.

If you have a large dependency tree, especially leading all the way back to core libraries, this will be a pain. (Though if it’s already that bad, then you probably have bigger problems anyway.)

Did you try the apt --fix-broken?

You can also try moving that conflicting file somewhere else and reinstall.

sudo mv /usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/akonadi_search.mo ~/

You may have to repeat that a few times to get it working, otherwise try uninstalling the conflicting package.

[–] Merlu@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Tried it, didn't changed anything.

~~apt uninstall libkpim5akonadisearch-data not help? apt-get autoremove might also be worth a try.~~

nevermind, you got it, congrats :)
