That’s what we wanted it to do. 
It was listed as broken and holding everything up. We wanted to get rid of it.
Ok, now, in Synaptic, search for “Zorin os Desktop”
and
“zorin os core” and say what results, if any it gives.
wait. 97 new packages to be installed uwu
ookeh

LOL yes… I was trying to convey without posting as we seem to be working toward winning an award on most post made in a thread.
install?
That would be awe(ful)some
Does synaptic show the Zorin Desktop packages as available? If so, we need to examine those packages to see if they are the Zorin Lite Desktop, first. We are looking for the Zorin Core desktop. In Synaptic, you can click on the package and look for information on it at the bottom of the window.
Also, if the system is still saying broken packages are held, we need to resolve that before installing anything.
uh you have reddit?
it will be better and more private
Uhh zorin-os-desktop and zorin-os-lite-core shows up
The forum is the best avenue to take as it allows other members to input suggestions and allows others to see the suggestions made that may help them.
However, it would be helpful if you reduced the number of posts you are making in the thread to direct On Topic responses.
Ok, so the desktop packages are showing up- when you select them for Information, what does it show? I never installed Zorin Gnome Core files as if I wanted Zorin Core, I just installed Zorin OS Core.
Ok, I opened Synaptic on my end and compared packages. The “zorin-os-desktop” is the correct package for Core.
Odd, your first screenshot shows both Core and Lite- one should be highlighted as installed already.
ok. Install?
Go for it. Let’s see if broken packages are still held. When you mark it for installation, then click apply, it will give a pop up showing all the dependencies, then proceed.
