So that packages you need don't get removed:
read -p "Enter package name: " packageName
sudo apt-mark auto $(apt-cache showsrc $packageName | sed -e '/Build-Depends/!d;s/Build-Depends: \|,\|([^)]*),*\|\[[^]]*\]//g' | sed -E 's/\|//g; s/<.*>//g')

This behaviour can be configured as well using DPKg::Options:: instead (wurtel explained why DPkg::Pre-Invoke is the wrong place):
Here an example from apt.conf with demo script:
DPKg::Options:: "--pre-invoke=/tmp/pre-invoke.sh";
Results in e.g.:
After this operation, 17.4 kB disk space will be freed.
This is testhook. Current action is remove

To resolve you may check link at Git Repository for the Gem (HTTP_Parser) here.
HTTP_Parser currently doesn't not support a Path with spaces, So try to rename the path that have no spaces.

Debian Jessie 8.11 is still available on the main site. Debian jessie 8.0 can be accessed from the archive. Your sources is mixed.

You'll need to download the latest debian-archive-keyring package for Debian jessie by hand and install it using dpkg -i. You can find a link to it on packages.debian.org. You could also use the stretch package.
Note that jessie has reached end of life and is not being security supported further. Because unpatched systems are easy to compromise and ...

There was an issue with the Debian 10 upgrade that caused the same issue on one of my servers, with the initrd.img-4.19.0-9-amd64 that was generated being 128MB when all the previous ones had been about 30MB!
I just ended up resolving this when the latest apt-get update showed there was a new image available and so I replaced the huge version with a copy ...

The error message “Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)” indicates a problem with the package installer. This can happen after a failed software installation, or if the installer becomes corrupted.
The key phrase in this error is /usr/bin/dpkg. This refers to the dpkg package installer for Linux. If it is damaged, any new software ...

You can add your remount command in systemd unit file:

[Service]

ExecStartPost= ; add your remount ro here

The 1: at the start of the version in the Ubuntu repositories (known as the epoch) causes apt to consider that version as newer than the version in the PPA. To install the latter, you need to ask apt to do so explicitly:
sudo apt install fontforge=20190413-27-g1acfefa-0ubuntu1~bionic
You’ll then need to put a hold on it, or add a pin priority on the PPA, to ...

&& means the following command will only run if the previous one exited with 0.
Seeing as apt-get update is producing errors, its return code will not be 0 - and therefore, apt-get upgrade is not executed.
Workaround:
alias upgrate='sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade'

If it still does not work try:
apt-get install gcc-9-base

The list of installed packages is in /var/lib/dpkg/status; that is the canonical reference. Installed packages are signalled in that file by their “install ok installed” status.
If you only want to track a list of installed packages, you can run
dpkg --get-selections
periodically and store its output in a file tracked with git.

I had this same problem while recovering from a failed update to Ubuntu 20.04. Based on answers elsewhere, I moved appstreamcli out of the way:
sudo mv /usr/bin/appstreamcli /root
After that,
sudo apt update
worked without a problem.
I then did
sudo apt upgrade
and finally
sudo apt install --reinstall appstream
sudo rm /root/appstreamcli
This resolved ...

The results of apt update are stored in /var/lib/apt/lists. If you back that up, and restore it, and apt update will then only changes since the last update.

function package_exists() {
dpkg -s "$1" &> /dev/null
return $?

if package_exists abra; then
CLIENT=abra
elif package_exists cadabra; then

else
echo 'Client not found!'

You can fix it by reverting to the appropriate version of libstdc++6 for your distribution:
sudo apt install libstdc++6=8.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04
libstdc++6 is a system library and somewhat difficult to upgrade.

The problem isn’t that your system’s version of Harfbuzz is too old, it’s that the Desktop Dimmer binary provided in the package embeds a version of Harfbuzz that’s too old.
I’m not sure how the dependency is pulled in, but hopefully rebuilding from source would use a newer version.

Neither line three nor line four is valid. You have omitted the leading deb and also the name of the respository it's supposed to be referencing.
To fix that without an editor it's going to be easiest just to delete them and start over.
Run these commands as root (sudo -s),
cd /etc/apt
grep '^deb' sources.list > tmp
mv sources.list sources.list.broken

Ive achieved it on Kubuntu with the following commands:
List the packages.
read every standard input.
store the full path (path | created date) with the format "%n|%y" into a variable.
store the name of the file into a variable
if both previous commands were executed successfully, values will be printed in a single line.

Clearly there are some broken dependencies.

Go to https://snapshot.debian.org/ (Debian package archive), pick a Wheezy snapshot and point your sources.list to it. Then you will be able to install old packages from that specific snapshot.
There may be quirks you have to deal with on dated systems, like manually installing apt-transport-https package or specifying [check-valid-until=no] in sources.list.

Thanks @muru for referring to this post, it was indeed a problem with Windows' hyper-v and VirtualBox. Disabling the hyper-v acceleration solved the problem.

I'm not sure, but I think I fixed it by commenting out the left-over repository from the third-party RNXtras PHP7.2 app (which I had tried, unsuccessfully, to uninstall), then purging and reinstalling a few things:

Have you updated your repo metadata? I am assuming your installation is new, so you probably need apt to look over your package sources and index the available packages. Try sudo apt update && sudo apt install apache2.

Ok so after asking in every forum in the world, I got an answer on the Mint forums, here.
He said it has something to do with a "partially added OBS repo". Not gonna lie, I don't know what he's talking about, but if you're having this problem then this is what fixed it for me. I'd recommend you remove any PPA that's having issues, and then run this ...

Use apt-file for this task. If it's not installed, sudo apt install apt-file. Run apt-file update after installation.
apt-file search setcap for example.
If you don't want to install anything locally, you can use debian index online.

Your regular expression doesn't look correct. It is matching package names containing (not necessarily starting with) "php7" plus one more arbitrary character (".") followed by an arbitrary number of characters which are none of the following: p, h, 7, ., 0.
What you probably want instead is the following regular expression:
sudo apt-get -...

What I would do:
sudo apt-get remove --purge $(
dpkg -l | awk '$1 == "ii" && /php7/ && !/php7\.0/{print $2}'
)
To pass variables to awk, use -v switch:
EXCLUDE_VERSION='php7.0'
awk -v exv="$EXCLUDE_VERSION" '$1 == "ii" && /php7/ && $2 !~ exv{print $2}'

Since there’s just been a gnustep-base transition in testing from 1.26 to 1.27, involving an upgrade from libgnustep-base1.26 to libgnustep-base1.27, you need to allow package removals during upgrade: use
apt full-upgrade
instead of apt upgrade.

APT itself includes a daily task to update its indexes. Nowadays this is a systemd timer, which you can disable:
systemctl disable apt-daily.timer
If you have PackageKit installed, it will also check for updates periodically. On GNOME, you can control this through the Software application; in its main menu, it has an “Update Preferences” entry which leads ...

Yes, you can. Basically, apt contacts the servers in your package repositories / sources list, see The Debian documentation on apt sources:
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://site.example.com/debian distribution component1 component2 component3
Here are the sites, e.g. site.example.com port 80 above. More could be in the files contained in /etc/apt/...

apt-file stores its indexes alongside the other apt indexes, in /var/lib/apt/lists by default. Look for the files with “Contents” in their name.

When you run apt, it tells you about any automatically removable packages after calculating the result of whatever you’re asking it to do. This includes both packages which were already automatically removable before the apt invocation, as a result of previous package removals, and packages which will be automatically removable as a result of the requested ...

I found the answer:
The package manager needs to have the PGP keys to verify package sets from the new repository.
You first have to fetch the keys from a keyserver, e.g. the SKS one:
