I am trying to install mongodb compass. When I am trying to install I am getting

Preparing to unpack mongodb-compass_1.39.0_amd64.deb ...
Unpacking mongodb-compass (1.39.0) over (1.39.0) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mongodb-compass:

  Package libgconf2-4 is not installed.

After that I tried to install libgconf-2-4 using command

sudo apt-get install libgconf-2-4

But getting error

After a lot of research I tried command sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq mongodb-org-server and it worked. Thanks to post https://askubuntu.com/questions/1075622/e-the-package-needs-to-be-reinstalled-but-i-cant-find-an-archive-for-it-lib

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.
