I have a
very rarely used installation of Sparky, in VirtualBox.
A few months ago – probably 27th August 2024, after not using the machine since 3rd June – when an upgrade failed (and the GUI was unusable) I was invited to run:
apt --fix-broken install
The command failed, repeatedly, so I shelved the installation for a while.
On 22nd February 2025, I took the two screenshots below. As far as I can tell:
- the ultimate error related to libkdecorations2 and libkdecorations3
- https://forum.sparkylinux.org/index.php/topic,6557 in June 2024 was for a comparable failure involving a different pair of packages.
On 29th March, when I retried the command, it succeeded. I proceeded to fix installations of KDE and SDDM.
If it's not too vague a question:
- was I simply unlucky in August last year and February this year?
