apologies


Thought about trying

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

seemed to work without a hitch, but then tried to install an app again and
got the same thing.


I cant explain how you have ended up in this position - did you
mistakenly mark it to be removed?
If you don't want to remove the package, run aptitude,select the
qubes-core-agent-passwordless-root package and mark it with + to show it
should be installed.
Then hit g to process.



Thank you unman!
I really dont think I mistakenly marked it to be removed but hey, at this point i dont know how else i ended up here.

Regardless, I almost never use aptitude so didnt even think of it, so i tried it and viola! I was able to install (and then use) apps without any obvious errors. I will not pretend to understand why that worked but I appreciate the ongoing help all the same. now i have a usable template again!!!

A few notes. Installing separately via aptitude seems to work, but using a file to install a few things seems to throw up the same error again, but after that error i can still install/run the app if i just install it directly via aptitude, perhaps the output will clarify things:
