I just ran the updater tonight & now I have a broken package somehow. I wasn't able to fix it successfully via Synaptic or cli.

Synaptic gives me the following output as caught in these screenshots:

When I try to run aptitude upgrade I get this output in the following pastebin:

Help is welcome.

EDIT:
When I installed samba in Synaptic, it uninstalled ark as part of its installation process. After which I had p7zip-full listed in the 'auto removable' section. I tried installing ark again & ended up with the same libzip5 error. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/ofaBW

So now I've purged ark & installed file-roller for the interim. After file-roller was installed I had the same libzip5 error as has been previously mentioned in its terminal window. However I am able to close & reopen Synaptic without it warning me about any broken packages like it had with ark.

However when I run aptitude update && aptitude upgrade I get this output regarding partially configured packages, as is detailed in the following pastebin: http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?2e65888031 ... ZedNMwRPE=

Concerning Synaptic: it should be upgraded look-wise. It does not look consistent with the VDG (Visual Design Group) guidelines. It's not that important? It is.

It affects me too, it seems the problem is the libzip5 package:

Code: Select all

dpkg: errore nell'elaborare l'archivio /var/cache/apt/archives/libzip5_1.2.0-0neon+16.04+xenial+build5_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 tentata sovrascrittura di "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libzip.so.5.0.0" presente anche nel pacchetto libzip4:amd64 1.2.0-0neon+16.04+xenial+build3

I have installed and upgraded KDE neon recently from other posts.
That is a problem currently occurring in Developer Edition (Stable and Unstable).
It is not encountered in User Edition and User LTS Edition.

I think it's now solved in Dev Stable.
