E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I don't understand why it says E: Sub-process false returned an error code (1) after I confirm installation of the packages. Can anyone help me with this?
initscripts is a purely virtual package, so it is safe to give dpkg permission to overwrite it. Open the terminal and type:
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/sysvinit-utils_2.96-7_arm64.deb
If you're not using dpkg directly and using an apt front-end like apt or apt-get, the following command defines the same custom dpkg option to use as the previous command.
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install sysvinit-utils
Try to flush the cache and reinstall then :
apt autoremove
apt clean
apt autoclean
apt update
apt install -f
if it doesn't help, try to remove the problematic packages and reinstall them normally.

I'm trying to set up a script that initialises my Ubuntu pyxis container:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Python and nano
apt-get update
apt-get install -y software-properties-common python3-pip python3-tk nano
# Fonts
echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select true | debconf-set-selections # Automatically accept EULA
echo ttf-mscorefonts-installer msttcorefonts/present-mscorefonts-eula note | debconf-set-selections # Automatically accept EULA
apt-get install -y msttcorefonts
rm -r ~/.cache/matplotlib 2>/dev/null
# Required python packages
pip3 install joblib matplotlib numpy pillow scikit-learn scipy tqdm
I run this script with
srun --container-image ubuntu:latest /root/setup_container.sh >~/setup_container.log 2>&1
However, the installation of the MS fonts package fails due to update-notifier-common not being configured correctly. The key part of the log file is below (I also uploaded the entire log file here).

Since the log contains an error message about an invalid _apt:root user, and I was also getting No sandbox user 'apt' warnings elsewhere in the log file, I tried to create an _apt user myself, but that brought on new errors:

How do I get update-notifier-common (and subsequently msttcorefonts) to install properly?
I managed to resolve the issue by manually downloading and installing the msttcorefonts package, as apparently the version on the Ubuntu repo is currently broken.
apt-get install -y wget
wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/contrib/m/msttcorefonts/ttf-mscorefonts-installer_3.8_all.deb -O ~/msfonts.deb
apt-get install -y ~/msfonts.deb
rm ~/msfonts.deb

Try sudo apt-get install gdebi-core and then sudo gdebi rstudio-1.2.5042-amd64.deb. gdebi will install the dependencies automatically for you.
There is another way with apt if you don't want to install gdebi; I believe the syntax is sudo apt install ./rstudio-1.2.5042-amd64.deb.
Alternatively, if you already forced dpkg to install the package, you can run sudo apt-get --fix-broken install to install the dependencies.
Try install version
rstudio-xenial-1.1.456-amd64.deb in
https://www.rstudio.org/download/daily/desktop/ubuntu64/
Bro!
I am on Ubuntu 17.10, freshly installed and tried to installed Ruby using apt-get install ruby-full. It failed to install and now aptitude says
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
ri: Depends: ruby2.3-doc but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specifiy a solution).
I tried the suggested command as well as sudo apt-get install -f -y to no avail: It begins the install process then tells me there was an error processing the ruby2.3-doc archive

I tried clearing aptitude's cache in case a package failed to download correctly but that did not fix it.
Because this means there are unmet dependencies, I'm unable to run other aptitude operations to try and install new packages or remove ruby-full.
How can I remove this ruby-full package so I can try again using rvm?
I ended up removing ri, ruby-full, and the other packages mentioned then ran apt-get update.
I am trying to install a library zip.
How to fix it? Thank you for your help.

As a root user, you don't need sudo before any command you want to run.
Normally, you should not use the root account to work on your server, it is very dangerous.
If you want install library zip, you should use apt-get install libzip, not
apt-get install zip. Zip is already the newest version (3.0-11) on you system.
According to the system output information, it seems to be there's some problems with you nginx installation.
Try sudo apt-get -f install or sudo apt-get remove nginx* && sudo apt-get install nginx-full
