Fix broken linux-headers package
I've accidentally run sudo apt remove linux-image-unsigned-5.14.1-051401-generic
and prompted to a <YES> + <NO> optinonal screen saying that it's my kernel version currently running.
I've tried downloading the files with the same version in here and do apt install *.deb
and do restart.
now there's is a red-broken-package icon saying some package broken, when I do apt update
it says I need to reinstall headers package.
--fix-broken install
result :
