I interpret the output that everything is installed except for two packeges which are "not fully installed or removed".

I also tried the following but it doesn't help. How do I solve this problem?
Edit:
/etc/default/grub

I deleted GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="libata.force=noncq now everything works fine again. Many thanks for your help!
