无法修复损坏的 Git 安装在 Ubuntu 上

Question

I was trying to install git on ubuntu, but there is an error when I try to install or fix broken git installation. This is the error :

cp: cannot stat '/usr/lib/git-core/git': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/git_1%3a2.17.1-1ubuntu0.8_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 new git package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg-query: warning: files list file for package 'git' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
dpkg-query: warning: files list file for package 'git' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/git_1%3a2.17.1-1ubuntu0.8_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I tried other possibles solutions, I will list here:

• apt --fix-broken install . Error: The same problem as above.
• apt purge git . Show me to make an apt fix broken install
• sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/git_1%3a2.17.1-1ubuntu0.8_amd64.deb . Error: dpkg-query: warning: files list file for package 'git' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed dpkg-query: warning: files list file for package 'git' missing; assuming package has no files currently installed
• I tried to remove all files inside dpkg/updates , apt/lists , apt/*.bin , and clen apt-get, to try to force the installation, but again the same error above.

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/updates/*
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
sudo rm /var/cache/apt/*.bin
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

• I tryed to remove the git .deb file from /var/cache/apt/archives and install git again, but doesn't work.

I resolved the problem with the commands below:

sudo apt-mark hold git
sudo dpkg -r --force-depends git

And then install git-core

sudo apt install git-core
