I am getting the same error after installing Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS yesterday, as my only OS, not in a VM, although I am nevertheless able to use Firefox. This is obviously an inherent problem with Ubuntu since I made no changes and the problem occurred immediately. I am also getting the same error regarding linux-headers-5.19.0-50-generic:amd64, but with no noticeable consequences. It's possible this is a result of my choosing the Minimal installation, and/or choosing to download updates during installation.

So you've done nothing wrong. There is something wrong with Ubuntu.

Sorry this isn't much of an answer; I don't have enough reputation to make a comment.

In full, Ubuntu tells me "An error occurred, please run Package Manager from the right-click menu or apt-get in a terminal to see what is wrong. The error message was: ' Unknown Error: '<class 'KeyError'>' ("The cache has no package named 'firefox:amd64'")'. This usually means that your installed packages have unmet dependencies".

There is no Package Manager in the right-click menu and I don't know how to make apt-get tell me what is wrong. Does anyone know?

Edit: running the Software Updater seems to have fixed it, but I don't know why this happened in the first place since I told Ubuntu to download updates during installation.

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.
