On Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS: The package system is broken Check if you are using third party repositories. If so disable them, since they are a common source of problems. [No: fresh snap install] Furthermore, run the following command in a Terminal: [sudo] apt-get install -f

 [seems fine]

Transaction failed: The package system is broken The following packages have unmet dependencies: thunderbird-locale-en: Depends thunderbird (>= 2:1snap1-0ubuntu3) but 1:115.13.0+build5-0ubuntu022.04.1 is installed thunderbird-locale-en-us: Depends thunderbird (>= 2:1snap1-0ubuntu3) but 1:115.13.0+build5-0ubuntu022.04.1 is installed [So I have an outdated version of the library. I don't know why. thunderbird was installed after upgrade from 24.04.1LTS with snap. How do I correct this? It seems not to affect thunderbird, but the OS update fails.]

Ubuntu has converted all applications to SNAP in their 24 release I think it is. This some sort of sand boxed application system and I have seen many issues raised by Ubuntu users and downstream distributions since this change.

Thunderbird offers a non snap installer for Linux, perhaps use it. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/
