Abort.

Why would it do that? Thanks.

[CelticWarrior]

In what context did it happen?
What were you trying to install?

[ActionParsnip]

What is the output of:


sudo apt-get update; lsb_release -a; uname -a

Thanks

[workaround]

I ran this command: sudo apt install lamp-server^ and that gave me the "Abort".
