Works as I expected.

It is likely to be because you tried to use Launch for a terminal command in the Software Manager, but I can't explain why the whacko error and dependency messages until I install Virginia.

Certainly inxi was not going to be installed, it is already there.

Cheers

BTW hope we have not confused the OP.

Noel, stick with what I said earlier

It is likely to be because you tried to use Launch for a terminal command in the Software Manager,

In software manager it has the green tick....showing it is installed. If I click on it, it promptly shows that error message ::
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mintsources: Depends: mint-common (>= 2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gir1.2-xapp-1.0 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: inxi but it is not going to be installed

and no possibility/link to uninstall

 

[Condobloke]

Synaptic package manager show inxi as installed : 3.3.13-1-1 ....and latest version as : 3.3.13-1-1

 

[Condobloke]

I would usually conclude that inxi was removed via the upgrade mechanism from LM21.2 to LM 21.3

 

[wizardfromoz]

For gir1.2-xapp-1.0 - Virginia has

gir1.2-xapp-1.0 2.8.2

and for

mint-common (>= 2) but it is not going to be installed

Virginia has

mint-common 2.3.1

... so it is all to do with the fact that the stuff is all already installed.

 

[wizardfromoz]

I should say that DistroWatch now has Virginia there and you can click pkglist to see for yourself, or else go straight to

https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mint&pkglist=true&version=21.3#pkglist

and scroll

 

[wizardfromoz]

Guess what, it is an ongoing issue, the below is from my Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria

No version change to inxi, either.

I think deadbeef may also be a 'victim'...

Music player and organiser for those unaware.

 

[bob466]

inxi has been installed by default in Mint Cinnamon for years...at least since 2016 when I started collecting Terminal commands.

 

[bob466]

Some of my very first Commands back then...
Mint Desktop environment

    inxi -Szxx

What OS are you using

   inxi -S

Version of Linux Mint

  inxi -Sz

Back then it was Cinnamon 17.2...has it been that long.
