I'm still early in my understanding of Linux and computers in general. I have a Raspberry Pi 3, and I'm trying to install python3-samba, and I've encountered some errors that I'm not too sure about how to fix. Furthermore, I've searched on Google and here on stack Exchange, but nothing seems to work. Here's the output in terminal:

pi@raspberrypi:/ $ sudo apt-get -f install

I'm just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction if they have time. Thanks.

I tried to install some programs that were in a tutorial for creating a NAS with a Raspberry Pi and one program in particular would not install because of an error. I expected it to install, but it didn't.

  • Could be corruption happening on your storage. I'd reinstall the python3-apt package containing the offending file. Probably using apt-get download + dpkg --install. Also verify that you don't have a filesystem full. Commented Dec 28, 2023 at 10:42
  • Didn't see the stat error. Really looks like a kind of corruption. Are there any messages in dmesg output suggesting you have a disk issue? Commented Dec 28, 2023 at 10:49
  • Multiple errors like this ... [ 1922.559153] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): ext4_dx_csum_verify:499: inode #186208: comm dpkg: dir seems corrupt? Run e2fsck -D. [ 1922.559229] EXT4-fs error (device mmcblk0p2): dx_probe:818: inode #186208: comm dpkg: Directory index failed checksum Commented Dec 28, 2023 at 11:06
  • I think you are right, thanks for the help though, I appreciate it. Commented Dec 28, 2023 at 11:09
  • Debian 11 so no kernel 6.1 issue. Can't tell if it's the disk or memory or anything else. Anyway backup data and consider reinstalling. Commented Dec 28, 2023 at 11:10
