AMD error when I am installing build essential

it flag
Mahmoud Ahmed

I am facing this error on a Dell Latitude E6540:

dpkg: error processing package amdgpu (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.

Errors were encountered while processing:
 amdgpu-dkms
 amdgpu
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

How can I fix this?

As I mentioned in the comments, my previous answer to this question will fix this issue.

amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms are the problematic packages here because they are either not fully installed or corrupted.

Follow the below steps to fix this issue:

  1. Purge the problematic packages:

    sudo dpkg -P amdgpu && sudo dpkg -P amdgpu-dkms

    More likely this will work! But sometimes it returns the same error.

  2. In that case, you must manually delete it by running the following:

    sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/amdgpu* /tmp

    This will move all the components of the package you listed to the /tmp directory. You can later remove them if you want.

  3. Then run these commands to update the repositories:

    sudo apt -f install
sudo apt clean
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade -y

Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.
Good Luck!

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.
