Hi,

just recently when I tried to upgrade my system the following occurred:

trifid@XPC-SH87R:~/box/Dokumente/Astro$ sudo apt upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
indi-asi : Depends: libasi but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
trifid@XPC-SH87R:~/box/Dokumente/Astro$ sudo apt --fix-broken install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
linux-headers-5.0.0-29 linux-headers-5.0.0-29-generic linux-image-5.0.0-29-generic linux-modules-5.0.0-29-generic
linux-modules-extra-5.0.0-29-generic
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
The following additional packages will be installed:
libasi
The following NEW packages will be installed
libasi
0 to upgrade, 1 to newly install, 0 to remove and 7 not to upgrade.
63 not fully installed or removed.

all other things that I tried were rejected due to the inconsistency of the system. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Read the last line on the Ubuntu Software install page on indilib.org.

You have to use the --force-overwrite command to complete the installation.
