why did these things fix it? Well, the first command, the dpackage command, is kind of to reset the configuration to what it needs to be to do the upgrade. And then the second is to force, that's the dash F, force the installation even though you're getting this error message. And using those two commands in sequence allows you to essentially push that gconf2 package over the threshold and get it to install even though it's not wanting to do it. And even though you're forcing the install with that install dash F command, it somehow figures out how to make it work and it works. So there's my non-technical technical explanation of how it works. You're essentially forcing the installation and then it just goes ahead and does it. And it just forces it to bypass those error messages and install it anyway. So there you go. I like the idea. It just forces the penguins to make it work. Yeah, there you go. Right. So it's like anything else. If it doesn't fit, just use a hammer and force it. (21/44)
