Every atp command returns an avalanche of errors, I freed up some space but the package management stuff seems gone and I can’t seem to fix it. Should I fresh install?

What kind of errors you’re getting? First what you can try is to run ‘dpkg --configure -a’. If that doesnt help we need more information on what’s going on.
I get dependency errors when trying to execute that dpkg command, other apt commands, if I execute --fix-broken I get:
method http has died unexpectedlyOther apt commands give me:
Dependencies not met(I freed up disk space)
What errors excactly? Copy and paste what you’re getting from your terminal. Also post output of ‘df -h’.
This is usually the recommended way to fix such dependency problems.
sudo apt-get -f installI tried it already, but I get
method http has died unexpectedlyhttps subprocess error code 127Another way to try to fix dependency problems, including complicated ones that apt cannot solve, is to use the magnificent aptitude deb helper. If you have aptitude not installed you can possibly still install it with dpkg. Download aptitude deb file and the aptitude-common deb file and save them to disk. For example for Debian : https://packages.debian.org/trixie/aptitude With dpkg it is in dependency problems situations still possible to install new software. Maybe dpkg --force-all or something like that is needed.
Make sure to make backups of your valuable things first via a Linux live session.
After you have aptitude installed, try e.g. :
sudo aptitude updateor
sudo aptitude install ncdu(or install some other small program you didn’t have installed already)It may already show a suggestion solution.
