today on logging in to my laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad T460s),I noticed a little red kind of "⛔️" icon in the top bar of my screen, I am using Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit by the way, anyway when I clicked into it, it told me that I had a certain package called libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 that needed to be reinstalled but there is no archive for it, and that it usually means that my installed packages have unmet dependencies. Now from doing further research I found out this package is related to Steam Installer and when I found out I attempted to remove Steam Installer, but then at the top it said, "Unable to remove "Steam Installer": Removing not available." For further information on what the "error" message looked like, I have attached an image below. Error Message

I have ran apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 and the output

You miss the focal-updates and/or focal-security repository pockets.

Open Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) and enable these components back by visiting Updates tab and setting For other packages, subscribe to to All Updates.

Then updates using

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get instal -f
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
