[SOLVED] System Upgrade Closing Before Completion

[Slooch]

Hi everyone :)

Last few days, the daily automatic System Upgrade Terminal window has been closing after about one page of text is displayed.

I then again get the System Upgrade window with options to Upgrade, Changelog, or Exit. Choosing Upgrade just repeats the process of Terminal closing rapidly.

Sparky 7 Orion-Belt.
Xfwm4.

Here's the Changelog if that helps:

Thank you :)

[pavroo]

it's about the libtiff5
Try to remove it:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt purge libtiff5but if it want to remove more packages, don't do it, downgrade it:

Code Select Expand

sudo apt install libtiff5

[Slooch]

Solved!

Thank you very much Pavroo!

sudo apt install libtiff5 worked

As you suspected,

sudo apt purge libtiff5 wanted to remove packages, so I skipped it.
