From the package changelog file:
- Don't install im-multipress.conf, no longer available (the multipress
IM module is unmaintained and was removed). Remove obsolete conffile
during upgrade.

Code: Select all

remove-on-upgrade /etc/gtk-4.0/im-multipress.conf
Contains an instruction where APT expects just a filename.

I am not sure what you are suggesting I do. Please explain more.

[ SOLVED SOLUTION [

Change the following file /etc/apt/sources.list with a text editor. I used nano to do this commandline like this.

# nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Proceed to edit the lines and when you're done, exit nano by typing CTRL+x. Before exiting, nano will ask you if you wish to save the file: Type y to save and exit.

I ran the following command after and everything worked fine :
# apt -f install
