Ever since the installation and setup for the pi which worked, I can no longer update the raspberry pi.
It seems there is a dependency tree missing. anyone know what is going on?

Hello and Welcome to the Cayenne Community.
Can you post some output from the console so we can review the errors ?
Thank you.
Thank you:
You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
expect : Depends: tcl8.5 (>= 8.5.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt-get -f install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
i tried running sudo apt-get -f install but got the error below:
apt-get -f install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
i am stuck
Can you try to put this command:
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock
and then again the above command ?
thanks for your response. let me show you the results
$ sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock
$ apt-get -f install
E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
And i am running the command right on the pi as admin
You’ll have to run apt as sudo:
sudo apt-get -f install
Adam caught it here – I’m watching the thread now so please let us know how it went, I’d be happy to troubleshoot any further install issue.
@adam thank you! I must have tried it a hundred times without the sudo. Thank you @ognqn.chikov, Thank you @rsiegel. You guys are awesome!
