Hello Adrian, root@ibook-g4:/home/cedar# apt install xserver-xorg-core Some packages could not be installed ... ... Unsatisfied dependencies: xserver-xorg-core: Depends: xserver-common(>= 2:21.1.14-2) but 2:21.1.14-1 is to be installed. I am unable to update xserver-common and, correct me if I'm wrong, therefore cannot start a graphical environment.
