Issue
Last night the update manager indicates there are 2 update ready. I want to apply them but at the end only one updates the 2nd one (python 3.10) does not. It was late so went to bed. This morning that update is still there but now there is some more stuff.
Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'http://apt.postgresql.org/pub/repos/apt focal-pgdg InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'
It was not exactly the same as mine related to codelite. I looked in repositories and ppa´s and found an entry for codelite and disabled it. That message was gone. But the update still did not work. This time a problem with the mirror I was using. Changed mirror and all the rest runs fine. Still updating python 3.10 no way. Other updates do pass, even python 3.8 and 3.9. Clearly the problem lies with python 3.10 and seem dependency related but I am stumped.
The deadsnakes repository is there. I removed and reinstalled it. Still same problem.
Here is a screen shoot of my terminal (same messages appear when I use synaptic):
It all turn around two dependencies that python 3.10 needs but are no longer there. But the recommended commands do nothing but return the same result.
The following packages have unmet dependencies. python3.10 : Depends: libpython3.10-stdlib (= 3.10.4-1+focal2) but 3.10.4-1+focal1 is installed python3.10-minimal : Depends: libpython3.10-minimal (= 3.10.4-1+focal2) but 3.10.4-1+focal1 is installed
So what is going wrong? what apart from focal1 and focal2 is different? And are they fundamentally different? Most importantly how do I solve this problem without going in circles.
Oh and before I forget. My python console in gedit stopped working at the same time as these problems started and I can't make out what the problem there is either. Suspect though they are related. e
Thank you in advance.
Solution
I had the same error. I followed the instructions in the first and second answer and I got this:
After move this : sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/libpython3.10-stdlib_3.10.4-1+focal2_amd64.deb /tmp
It works !
