I have a bash script which installs a set of packages from a file but it fails to find the packages. When executing the same commands from the bash terminal, there is no problem.
sources.list:
apt-transport-https
curl
BROKEN:
apt-get update
dl_flag=--download-only
pkglist=source.list
while read pkg; do
apt-get install -y --allow-downgrades "$dl_flag" "$pkg"
done <"$pkglist"
apt-get claims it can't find anything:

I can't think of anything that would cause the loop to behave differently.
Source.list contained carriage returns which were passed to the loop steps that broke the script.
I also found a note that the sources file should end in a line-feed to ensure proper parsing by the read function.

Errors were encountered while processing:

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 am connected to a remote Debian system via macOS Terminal.
Command after apt-get never runs if apt-get installs something
At first, I copy these three commands from a text file on my macOS and paste it into the terminal with a single command+v press:
sudo apt-get -y remove tree
sudo apt-get -y install tree
echo hi
Here is what I see in the Terminal.
lone#lone:~$ sudo apt-get -y remove tree

The third command, echo hi, was never executed. Why?
Command after apt-get does run if apt-get does not install anything
Next time, I simply paste these two commands with a single command+v press:
sudo apt-get -y install tree
echo hi
This time, since tree is already installed, apt-get does not need to install it again. This is the output I see:
lone#lone:~$ sudo apt-get -y install tree

tree is already the newest version (1.7.0-5).

lone#lone:~$ echo hi
hi
This time echo hi was executed. Why?
Both results are reproducible every time I perform these two sets of operations. Why does the echo hi command not run in the first example but does in the second example?
apt-get or a program called by apt-get is emptying its stdin (which happens to be the same as the shell's, where your list of commands originates).
Since you know nothing needs to be to read from the user, redirect stdin from /dev/null:
sudo apt-get -y remove tree </dev/null
sudo apt-get -y install tree </dev/null
echo hi
Append -o=DPkg::FlushSTDIN=0 to your apt-get install command.

E: The package libopencv-video2.4v5 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
I'd recommend : sudo dpkg --remove --force-all libopencv-video* &&
sudo apt-get update
sometimes it needs the machine to be restarted
Also you could try :
apt-get -f install
apt-get autoremove
apt-get purge libopencv-video*
apt-get purge
apt-get clean
if apt didn't work you can also manually download .deb file and install it using dpkg -i file.deb
Note: pick the file based on your ubuntu version and arch

I have a Samsung Series 3 Chromebook with the ARM processor. I made a Crouton chroot and installed Ubuntu cli. I have Node.js 0.10.15 installed and running. I tried to install the heroku-toolbelt and it won't run. Below is the command:
(precise)root#localhost:/# wget --no-check-certificate -O- https://toolbelt.heroku.com/install-ubuntu.sh | sh
I used --no-check-certificate because when I took quiet mode off I learned that was causing the install to punt. After it told me a few times it could not verify certificates, it did said:

What happened?
In your apt-get output, the last line states:
E: There are problems and -y was used without --force-yes
If you look at the actual script Heroku uses to install itself on linux, that corresponds to apt-get install -y heroku-toolbelt line.
Try running this: apt-get install -y --force-yes heroku-toolbelt
