Hi Andreas, Thanks for writing. Looks like you are right. It did not work straight away, i had to make several updates (and eventually an upgrade command) for it to work. I can now install apps via the terminal and also via the software manager (I only tried a few games that maybe are not

Hi Andreas, Thanks again for your precious help. We are nearly there. At least it looks like the DPKG issue is lessened. I am attaching 2 files with the outputs from the terminal. The one without the "bis" is the output I had the first time. Where not much changed in the sense that after

Dear Andreas, Thanks for responding. I have indeed an update from the software installer that starts then stalls. It may be it. Anyway, most updates, like applications / software being installed, stall half-way. Attached is the output. Thanks and regards Bernard On 20/06/17 23:47, Andreas
