2 days ago I was trying to install DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment). It didn't finish, now everytime I try to install something it gives me this error.

Translation: Errors found while processing:

What's happening and what can I do? Edit: It also gives me the following message

Done. Loading new deepin-anything-0.0 DKMS files... Building for 5.8.0-50-generic Building initial module for 5.8.0-50-generic ERROR: Cannot create report: [Errno 17] File exists: '/var/crash/deepin-anything-dkms.0.crash' Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 5.8.0-50-generic (x86_64) Consult /var/lib/dkms/deepin-anything/0.0/build/make.log for more information.

Edit 2:

On /var/lib/dkms/deepin-anything/0.0/build/make.log it shows the following code

Well, by this time, I guess the OP might have already got a solution. Anyway, I've faced the same.

@ChanganAuto's answer indirectly have the solution. If you follow the guide link he mentioned, in that page you'll find (probably later added) a section "Fix for deepin-anything-dkms".

In summary, "out-of-the-box" UbuntuDDE has a problem compiling that module under newer kernels (on 20.04, it seems). But, the file it first indicates also doesn't solve the problem. It has predicted there could be newer versions of it, and so you just need to go to http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntudde-dev/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/d/deepin-anything/?C=N;O=A and download newest version of deepin-anything-dkms present there.

As of today (2022-03-15), newest version is http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntudde-dev/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/d/deepin-anything/deepin-anything-dkms_5.0.9-1ubuntu1_all.deb. Installed like a charm.

Still following what that guide says, after downloading, open a terminal session, go to the directory where you've downloaded it and

sudo apt install ./deepin-anything-dkms_<the version you've dowloaded>.deb

After that, it'll probably finish installing and setting up other dependencies that couldn't be installed previously, like deeping-anything-server, dde-file-manager, etc.

Knowing that you followed an up-to-date guide (at the time of this writing) and assuming the correct PPA mentioned in the guide was already added, please run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntudde-dde

Some cleanup is probably in order. Do this before the previous commands and then try again:

sudo apt clean
sudo apt autoclean
