From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What must I do to unjam things?

I have tried many suggestions from various websites but they don't work because it looks like there is some sort of circular dependency going on here.

Seems like dpkg failed in configuring things in a previous update? Perhaps it was interrupted. You can try to run the configuration process again with:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

See if that helps.

Your root problem is:

dpkg: error processing package ca-certificates-java (--configure):
 installed ca-certificates-java package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

It can't finish installing ca-certificates-java because the script that is supposed to set it up isn't working. So it also can't finish installing anything that depends on it, since it doesn't want to run their scripts until ca-certificates-java is installed properly.

Maybe uninstall ca-certificates-java and what depends on it, and then reinstall it alone, and see if you can get a message about why exactly its script is failing?

Thanks for all your suggestions! I uninstalled ca-certificates-java and minecraft-launcher , and when I did that the others were removed also. then I re-installed the Minecraft.deb that I had downloaded from Mojang's site and now Minecraft is working. Next, I will investigate Geogebra.

[–] planish@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Actually I think this might be https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1023748 and you might be able to get around it by having an older Java installed or set as the main one when installing the CA certificates package.

After an install - Geogeba now works too.
