I have no idea how to continue from here. dpkg -l|grep -v ^ii did not report anything out of the ordinary. How can this be fixed?

dpkg -l|grep -i clang

reports

I did not have python-clang installed. I have tried installing some versions of python-clang but without success of fixing the problem above.

I have the same problem.System info: Linux me-VirtualBox 4.15.0-36-g-Ubuntu x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux The only programme installed on is Julia and miniconda.

dpkg -l|grep -i clang don't return anything. It doesn't turn out success after instaling python-clang 3.9 as well.

python-clang-3.9 is already the newest version (1:3.9.1-19ubuntu1).

So the issues haven't been addressed in a year, but I have the exact same error when I run sudo apt install clang++. Anybody knows what could be causing this?

[PanderMusubi]

Unfortunately, no news from this side.

[lucasexe]

Just install clang: sudo apt install clang

It will install clang++.

When you do sudo apt install clang++ you are asking to install a lot of packages (clang++ is interpreted as a pattern) and some of them are conflicting.

[scaldwell-att]

This issue can probably be closed. @lucasexe is right. 'apt-get install clang++' will be interpreted as a pattern and break things. Just using 'apt-get install clang' will install clang and clang++.

[hedi-sel]

It does work as a workaround. But the issue should probably be adressed at some point, rather than considered solved. I would have left it open.
