This happened over night, when I turned my monitor on in the morning I saw this error pop up. I have no idea how it happened and I have only the slightest indication of what is happening (dependencies are broken, but not why they would be necessary). Anyone who could shine some light on my issue would be helpful and appreciated.

This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Furthermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time.

Since the problem seems to be related to a previous update it is likely to be hardware agnostic, particularly as -gles is a version of Qt GUI library built against OpenGL ES, for use on embedded/mobile devices. I suspect a bug in the update to kernel version 6.x.x as I reverted to 5.19.0 and the problems disappeared. To try this answer you can select the previous kernel (not the recovery option) by quickly pressing and holding the Shift key at startup and selecting it from the options. If that clears the fault then use dpkg to remove the offending package, e.g. https://recoverit.wondershare.com/linux-recovery/dpkg-uninstall.html

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.
