I’m using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
I’m having an issue with the updating of Flair, there is some part of my installation that is broken for reasons I don’t understand. I tried first to use the method of updating via the repository (sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade), and I get the following output:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
flair-geoviewer : Depends: flair (= 3.2-2) but 3.2-1 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
Running the attempted fix suggested does not work.
I removed both flair and geoviewer, then I tried to reinstall them:
mvandijk@mvandijk-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt install flair
Reading package lists… Done

Reading state information… Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libflashrom1 libftdi1-2 libllvm13
Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove them.
The following NEW packages will be installed:
flair

Any guidance on any of these methods would be helpful! Thank you,
