  • Do you have sufficient disk space now? Or did the mounting procedure work? Did sudo apt -f install work?

  • This means good news?

  • If you can boot into terminal session, e.g. by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F2, you can try:

     
        
    sudo apt clean
    sudo apt -f install
    sudo apt clean
    sudo apt dist-upgrade
    sudo apt clean
    
      

    If sudo apt -f install doesn't work properly, you can create an apt-cache folder on, e.g. your home partition, assuming this is the one with sufficient amounts of free storage.

     
        
    sudo apt clean
    sudo mkdir /home/apt-cache
    sudo nano /etc/fstab
    
    
      

    In the fstab you specify where this directory shall be mounted:

     
        
    /home/apt-cache    /var/cache/apt/archives    none    bind    0    0
    
    
      

    Now you copy the files in place and mount the partition:

     
        
    sudo cp -r /var/cache/apt/archives/* /home/apt-cache
    sudo mount -a
    
    
      

    Nou you should be able to run the fix-installation and update commands without the errors:

     
        
    sudo apt -f install
    sudo apt dist-upgrade
    
      
  • At least it is a step forward from the current state: "Cannabis is not broccoli and it is not allowed because it is forbidden".

  • I just installed the Flatpak version of Inkscape (the first GTK application, that came into my mind, where it makes sense to have the latest version installed) and the Breeze dark theme works for me.

    I'm using Debian Bookworm btw ;-)

  • If she's used to Windows, KDE might be a better choice. It runs well on my 2012 Intel i3 dual core, 8GB RAM laptop.

  • Concerning the compatibility, there shouldn't be a difference between LMDE and Debian. The choice of the Desktop environment depends on your personal favour. As Mac user, you probably tend towards Gnome which can be installed during the setup of Debian, not LMDE. However, as I don't know about the performance of the 2013 iMac, maybe Cinnamon or Mate are a better choice.

  • A spokesman from the extreme right party AfD once got cited with the words: "Je schlechter es Deutschland geht, desto besser für die AfD." (The worse Germany is doing, the better it is for the AfD.) I think this highlights the underlying reasons why the AfD wants Germany to leave EU.

  • Do you really have to reinstall from scratch or is it sufficient to update the sources.list to the new Debian release and perform dist-upgrade like for Debian?

  • The eagle being depicted in black doesn't make it a black eagle. English is a weird language.
