Edit your question and include the exact commands that you are using and the complete output of each command. Also include `sudo apt update`

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

EN: APT had planned for dpkg to do more than it reported back

TH: APT วางแผนให้ dpkg ทำมากกว่าที่รายงานกลับมา

RO: APT plănuise ca dpkg să facă mai mult decât a raportat

RU: APT планировал, что dpkg сделает больше, чем сообщил

VI: APT đã lên kế hoạch để dpkg làm nhiều hơn những gì nó đã báo cáo lại

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.
