I try to install nordvpn on ubuntu 20.04 but it keeps showing me something like this

luzw@PL005029:~$ sudo apt install nordvpn

  • The problem is, as always, *6 not fully installed or removed*. Whenever you have broken packages you can't install anything else with apt. You need to correct that first. This has nothing to do with the specific package - nordvpn - you're trying to install. – ChanganAuto May 16 '21 at 23:54
  • Run `sudo apt update` and then `sudo apt upgrade`. These two commands will update your system. – user68186 May 17 '21 at 00:00
  • @ChanganAuto thanks, and how can i fix it? – ateista34 May 17 '21 at 00:01
  • @user68186 still not working and sudo apt upgrade has the same problem as installing nordvpn – ateista34 May 17 '21 at 00:03
  • You could try using NordVPN without the client. I found the client to be buggy and had nothing but problems. Without the client all is well. And quite easy to use once setup.
