apt-uprgade broken systemd dependencies

[TheRoam]

Hi, is it possible to apt-upgrade some way? or recommended at all?

Seems that systemd tries to upgrade and it throws an error "trying to overwrite /etc/sleep.conf file which is in package nvidia-l4t-init"

Sorry I'm very noob with system stuff but I really like this image consuming only 200MB RAM :)

I can take a look at it

exact issue happening here: https://qengineering.eu/install-ubuntu-20.04-on-jetson-nano.html#imTextObject_89_431_tab0

I will try if proposed solution (forcing upgrade) works

Thanks, I'll give a try this week. Maybe it's time for ubuntu 22.04 :D

This it's only happen in jetson nano due because nvidia-l4t 32x doesn't nvidia fix it for conflict in focal/jammy headers . The workarround it's re-run sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite with conflicted package .

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

pls suggest what steps can be taken next ?

[pythops]

Can't reproduce this one. the upgrade works fine. I'll close this one feel free to comment if it's still ongoing issue and I'll take a deep look

[soo-shan]

For anyone facing the issue of No such file or directory while running --force-overwrite can use sudo apt install --download-only systemd to download the package into /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder.
