E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Run Steam

[kisak-valve]

Hello @Lord-Kamina, E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled. is from Steam explicitly telling apt to fail in this kind of unexpected package conflict instead of doing harm, which makes the hell-bent claim a bit excessive.

Can you ask apt to try to install the set of dependencies along with vivaldi-stable in one command and see if it can resolve the set of packages together? If at any point it wants to remove any packages then do not let apt proceed. What we're looking for is a hint to what packages apt thinks are in conflict to justify removing the browser.

I'm guessing that would look something like sudo apt install --no-remove vivaldi-stable libc6:amd64 libc6:i386 libegl1:amd64 libegl1:i386 libgbm1:amd64 libgbm1:i386 libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64 libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 libgl1:amd64 libgl1:i386 steam-libs-amd64:amd64 steam-libs-i386:i386 Please share the terminal spew off of that, you do not need to force it if any warning is given.

After that, we'll want to ponder the packages that are in conflict in more detail. Specifically, you'll want to use apt policy <package names> to inspect what versions of those are installed and available in your repos.
