Workstation boots normally except the error message .

Avoiding this issue:
Be careful with package removal, apt autoremove. See:
Fixing this issue:
Difficult. No documentation that is easy to follow that I know and could recommend. But same as for any Linux distribution.
Probably easier:

Thanks for your reply , I’ll try the reset .
However I don’t remember cleaning up with apt autoremove . Just scrolled through my terminal history and no apt autoremove , only purge pass when switching to KeePassXC .
Any other possible causes except apt autoremove ?
-A
The output of any APT action has to be reviewed before proceeding. If required packages are removed such as initramfs-tools, this can break the boot.
What exactly happen… See file:
/var/log/apt/history.log
How to access that file?

Hi , thanks again .
I catted the history log . Only possible command (that should not tamper with the system or depencies , purge only removes configs for the application when removing the application?) :
Commandline: /usr/bin/apt-get remove --purge pass -y
I could’t get pass working correctly in Whonix , can you confirm that pass does not work in current release of Whonix ?
Discouraged. Because then you cannot review before proceeding.
or simply just:
purge
Since not installed by default, probably no issue.
1 issue = 1 forum thread please.
Also, most likely no. Should be done as per https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Free_Support_Principle.
Ok , thanks for the support . The meta packages seemed to be intact … Backed up data and clean installed Whonix KVMs , no biggie.
Great to hear!
