Chromium installed, then aptitude: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of expect: expect depends on tcl-expect; however: Package tcl-expect:amd64 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package expect (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: tcl-expect:amd64 expect E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Failed to perform requested operation on package. Trying to recover: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of expect: expect depends on tcl-expect; however: Package tcl-expect:amd64 is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing package expect (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: expect Press Return to continue.
