After I fixed a kernel panic I keep getting "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"

gp flag

So I have been getting this error after I had a kernel panic and decided to follow this article: https://www.geekswarrior.com/2019/07/solved-how-to-fix-kernel-panic-on-linux.html From what I have gathered, it seems to be a problem with the Linux package handler I cant sudo apt get anything without it returning this error, and neither can I execute the commands that other articles say fix this error without also returning the error.

Thanks for any help in advance!

By the way, when it said "checking for nproc... (cached) yes" a ton of times, I removed it in the message because it was just repeating and exceeding the character limit.

"*it seems to be a problem with the Linux package handler*" That suggests you have not adequately read the output. A lot of good troubleshooting information in there. Go line-by-line, the way it was created. Don't look for the final error message. Look instead for the *initial* error message, and what was happening around that.

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.
