There are not just "sirs" on this site, and you need to read the Question Guidelines. You've given us *NO DETAILS* at all, as to the version/distro of Linux, what you did to get to this point, what you typed in, etc. We can guess as to Kali just by your prompt....so have you read Kali's website, and the sticky posts here?? Kali is for experienced Linux users, and even then to be used for security/pentesting...not as a daily-use distro. Why are you using Kali??
That said, you also need to do basic research before posting, because putting your exact error into Google pulls up many possible solutions. But since we don't know what you've done/tried, we can't say which to use. https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...-an-error-code
Please paste the output from the following command within CODE tags (see https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...og.php?b=36313) so that we can determine which, of any, of your packages are not properly installed:
Code:
dpkg -l | grep -v "^ii" | sed 's/=//g'
Also, please paste the output from the following command (also within CODE tags) so that we can have a look at your software sources.
Code:
inxi -r
Also, please paste the last 10 or so lines of /var/log/dpkg.log
