I am facing this error on a Dell Latitude E6540:
dpkg: error processing package amdgpu (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
amdgpu-dkms
amdgpu
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
How can I fix this?
>Solution :
As I mentioned in the comments, my previous answer to this question will fix this issue.
amdgpu and amdgpu-dkms are the problematic packages here because they are either not fully installed or corrupted.
Use the following command to solve the issue:
sudo dpkg -P amdgpu && sudo dpkg -P amdgpu-dkms
This removes the package, but sometimes returns the same error:
dpkg returned error code (1)
In that case, you must manually delete it by running the following:
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/amdgpu* /tmp
This will move all the components of the package you listed to the /tmp directory. You can later remove them if you want.
Then run these commands to update the software cache:
sudo apt -f install
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt clean
sudo apt autoremove
Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments.
