E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I did not have good luck for case use with v 20, will v 22 work for you both?

Code:

node --version
v22.0.0

If you can provide the link that would be good .. I went to latest node downloads and only Windows showed .. no Linux.

Dang I'll have to find it again It's been a few months since, but for v20 I use:

Code:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_lts.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

For v22 I use:

Code:

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - &&\
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

I owe the OP an apology for all this noise, but may be useful IJDK.

Now if you want to remove or revert to the original "v"

Code:

apt-get purge nodejs &&\
rm -r /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list &&\
rm -r /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

And I'm a CLI user so I remove the source by:

Code:

 sudo rm -r '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list'

Update and reinstall the original via:

Code:

 sudo apt install nodejs

EDIT: I found it, I love having good notes: https://github.com/nodesource/distri...buntu-versions

Good references.

I tried ..
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_22.x | sudo -E bash - &&\sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

reparing to unpack .../nodejs_22.0.0-1nodesource1_amd64.deb ...
Detected old npm client, removing...
Unpacking nodejs (22.0.0-1nodesource1) over (20.12.2-1nodesource1) ...
Setting up nodejs (22.0.0-1nodesource1) ...
Processing triggers for man-db (2.10.2-1) ..

but dang .. node --vesion shows v.18.

I will have to purge node and try again.

Don't know how OP in this buddy thread is faring.
