I not able to Understand This language
But maybe you have broken packages
Which will you manually remove first & then
Try parrot-upgrade

Edit : ohk i see binutils packages ,
Simple purge and remove it

sudo apt remove --purge PackageName -y

Then try to

Parrot-upgrade

Try this:

sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu

And then try to reinstall. I am interested what exactly have you done to get this error. Have you interrupted apt when it was installing/upgrading anything?

rahusigu · April 29, 2019, 1:45pm

" sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu

dpkg: dependency issues do not allow you to remove the binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu package:
binutils depends on binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu (= 2.31.1-16).

dpkg: bug in processing binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu (–remove) package:
Dependency issues - not removed
Errors occurred in the processing of the following packages:
binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu

I don’t remember exactly what happened after that, but I probably did interrupt the packet update process

rahusigu · April 30, 2019, 11:36am

Because of these two buggy packages, it is not possible to update / uninstall / install other packages.

hotwater · April 30, 2019, 12:33pm

This is something weird and this has to be a reason for dpkg remove error. Have you added any scripts or something?

rahusigu · April 30, 2019, 12:38pm

7 days have passed since the system was installed, no scripts were installed

rahusigu · May 1, 2019, 11:23am

I can’t update the system, write a bug with this package, how do I fix it?

Amzker · May 1, 2019, 12:56pm

sudo dpkg --purge --force-all binutils*

If still not , find out it’s deb file in /var/ and manually remive it , fhen

 sudo apt --fix-broken install && sudo apt install -f

Then

rahusigu · May 1, 2019, 5:10pm

Didn’t help:(
All I could do was remove the “binutils” package
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all binutils

hotwater · May 1, 2019, 6:19pm

Is it possible for you to join some screen sharing service like Discord, so I could help you by talking? (I also saw some russian text in your logs, so if you speak russian we may speak russian)

rahusigu · May 1, 2019, 6:22pm

I speak Russian, yes.
I can contact you in telegram chat and follow your instructions

hotwater · May 1, 2019, 6:25pm

Ok, my nickname is @h0tw4t3r.

Result’s will be posted here.

rahusigu · May 1, 2019, 8:05pm

The problem was with the file system.

A solution:

Boot from live cd
decrypt the root partition
run the command
sudo xfs_repair /dev/mapper/parrot-vg-root
reboot
