I was able to "fix" (by fix I mean continue to update my system so it remains usable) this issue by running the following command (I don't recommend using this unless its a last resort option, because who knows what overwriting files from one package could do): sudo apt --fix-broken install -f -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" Now I'm able to at least complete a system update with: sudo pkcon update -y
