Firefox is not reinstalling

Hello,

I am trying to reinstall Firefox as it was not working properly after an OS upgrade but it is giving me libsqlite error.

apt install firefox

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
firefox : Depends: libsqlite3-0 (>= 3.28.0) but 3.27.2-3 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

It is a bug from debian side.

Oh Okay. I guess it should get fixed by next update??

Yes ofc. It should be fixed soon. It is a super common problem if you use Debian testing or debian unstable :sweat_smile::sweat_smile::sweat_smile: Our Parrot bases on Debian testing so we can have these errors as well even we do it carefully.

P/s: it has been fixed. Please run full-upgrade and try install firefox again :smiley:

Its still the same for me. Not yet fixed. It is showing me the same error as before. I installed Google Chrome for the time being to visit web.

That is weird. Could be mirror sync problem.

Hope will be fixed next update .

It is mirror sync for sure. My laptop updated successfully at the office and my PC at home is still having this problem. There is only 1 way to do: wait for it. I’ll ask our leader about this problem.

Thank you so much man.
