I messed up my system by loading files from another repo, I commented out that repo, but now dist-upgrade complains of broken packages.
I don't know how to fix, I could purge these packages and reinstall from official repo, if I knew which ones they are.

Sure, thank you very much for your help with flash, but after a dist-upgrade using your repo I got conflicts with my Debian stable system, maybe packagesstevepusser wrote:Inquiring minds also want to know what repo and packages those were...
in MX repo are newer versions.
The thing I miss the most is I lost integration between Dolphin and LibreOffice, right-click NEW no longer brought office files only text and HTML new files were possible to create.

You could just restore the backup you made before installing the broken packages.
“ computer users can be divided into 2 categories:
Those who have lost data
...and those who have not lost data YET ” Remember to BACKUP!

Re: How to identify and fix broken packages
This seems a bit unintuitive to me so I'll tread lightly
what happens when you enable the MX repo again.
does the package manager you use find the broken packages and fix the
brokenness after enabling MX than run the update command?

Thanks for answer.
I am very busy with other stuff, so it might take a while to test this stuff.
