I have ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I'm wanting to get BleachBit and when I try through the command line, I get this error message:
Preconfiguring packages ...

I used sudo service lightdm stop to try to kill the xserver and got "Failed to stop lightdm.service: Unit lightdm.service not loaded."
When I try installing from the website, I get this error message in a notification: "Unable to install BleachBit: Error while installing package: installed linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 1"
So I'm at a loss here. I didn't find anything that could help me when I looked up the error messages. I've also had this same command line error when trying to install ffmpeg as well. I would greatly appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
EDIT: I went to wiki.x.org, to https://www.x.org/wiki/FAQErrorMessages/ and it said to try netstat -ln but command netstat was not found, and I got the same error message when trying to install it.
