If I do 'apt update' or any other apt command, the terminal screen is cleared and

ist9DepRemovEEN8pkgCache11DepIteratorE, version APTPKG_5.0

is printed. I've tried to reinstall apt using wget

 wget http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/a/apt/apt_1.8.2.2_armhf.deb

and it seems to be successful, but there's no change :-(

  • wget just downloads a package. Install .deb-packages via dpkg -i package.deb. However maybe try apt install --fix-broken first.

  • thanks @Fiximan ! Sorry I should have said I then did dpkg -i apt_1.8.2.2_armhf.deb and it went through all the updating triggers etc, but the net result is the same. Doing apt install --fix-broken just gives the same result - a flicker then a screen clear then it says ist9DepRemovEEN8pkgCache11DepIteratorE, version APTPKG_5.0
