I encountered serious problems when trying to update MintPPC using synaptic!

I got these errors:
How can I correct the problems?! Trying to remove the problematic pacakges does not work, Synaptic just gives similar error messages.

I do not understand why Synaptic/Apt does not check whether the update is really doable before it starts the process...?

Hi Roland,

I have the same issues on Debian 11 PPC64 on my X1000. Unfortunately I don't have a solution currently.

Cheers,
Christian

That's sad to hear... I also noticed that the Mate menu in toolbar did not anymore appear, so the attempt to update handicapped the whole system badly. It was not even possible to remove the problematic components anymore.

I switched back to an early MintPPC installation for which I made only some very selected updates.,, On the bright side, VLC's menus still work normally with this installation!
