I was trying to download Visual Base to Ubuntu 21.04; before actually download, I tried to run sudo apt-get update, it showed there are 4 upgradable n, I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

it downloads the packages but fails to install, it threw an error as the title indicated. Now, I realized I cannot install VB, or any other software, or even update the packages to that matter.

How do I fix this and download VB to my Ubuntu machine?

PS: I referred to this post, failed to get pass

~/dpkg $ tar xfvz data.tar.gz ./usr/bin/dpkg ./usr/bin/dpkg

Thank you

»» sudo apt **dist-upgrade** «« is what you can do to change to the next Ubuntu version .... that's Ubuntu 21.10 later this year. ..... So if you have any repo's with future versions, unpredictable things can happen, I guess.

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.
