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?

      Another 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 update

      or

      sudo aptitude install ncdu (or install some other small program you didn’t have installed already)

      It may already show a suggestion solution.
