Nemo depends on this: libxapp1 (= 2.2.8-1) But it wants installed a different/newer Version 2.8.1+klbkjammy
That can happen if You have added third-party Repos. You should control /ect/apt/sources.list (that is a File) and /etc/apt/sources.list.d (that is a Folder).
No, not from other distros. I have a couple repositories from individual software.
Thank you for the link, I shall try that tomorrow.
Sorry, what do you mean by 'control'?
Apologies for my lack of knowledge.
Well, it tells me that is already installed on my system...
Hmmm...
I really think we should check your sources. It seems like the Nemo install is a higher source.

Thanks.
That was what I meant with ''control''. I meant that You should take a Look at these 2 Directories. Maybe the Word ''control'' doesn't work as well in English as in German. I keep that in Mind (hopefully, hahaha!).
And I see there the Issue:
Do you need that Repo for something? If not, You could delete it or for a Test at least disable it. To do that, go to Software & Updates and look in the ''Other Software'' Tab if this Repo is listed. If yes, unmark it. Then open the Terminal and type sudo apt update && sudo apt install nemo
If it is not listed and You want keep it, open the Terminal and type sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kelebek333-ubuntu-mint-tools-jammy.list enter Your Password and in the opening Window set a # at the Beginning of each Line without a # where an Web-Adress is. Then type ctrl+o to save the Changes, Enter to confirm and ctrl+x to exit. Back in the Terminal type sudo apt update and check that the Source Entry is gone.
If You want delete this Repo, open the Terminal and type sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kelebek333-ubuntu-mint-tools-jammy.list and then sudo apt update && sudo apt install nemoand check if it installs it.
Thank you for the education, I am learning more. So, I disabled that line, I now vaguely recall it was from an attempt to install software for webapps, so in fact I have deleted it. I won't be doing that again - I have a much better idea of what I need on my system now.
I also restarted, however after update I still get the same message on sudo apt install nemo:

Thank you so much, it is appreciated.
Can You post the Terminal Output of sudo apt update please?

Hmm ... this one could maybe be a Problem, too:
And could You take again a Look in /etc/sources.list.d if this one is deleted:
Thanks! yes, I had checked /etc/apt/sources.list.d immediately after removing that one.
I've switched off the openSUSE one, can't remember what that was for. sudo apt update && sudo apt install nemo gives identical output to earlier, above.
I have obviously upset something in my system. I really appreciate the help that you all have given. Don't worry any further, I'll live with it until I install a new SSD and re-install the system from fresh on that. I was going to wait until Zorin 18 to do this, but may just go for it sooner.
I would have one Idea what You could try. You disable every third-party Repo but only one at once. You disable one, run sudo apt update && sudo apt install nemo and look if it works. And that You do until all third-party Repo's are turned off. And if You see that it works at one Time in this whole Process, You know what Repo is the Problem.
Yes, I think we have found our source: Mint and OpenSuse distro repositories have created file conflicts- this may also explain the drag and drop not working on Nautilus due to the OpenSuse repository. It may have altered some Gnome Package files.
So, having removed both of those sources (deleted the Mint one, switched off the openSUSE one), and run
sudo apt update && sudo apt install nemo
The output is the same as before:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
xapp : Depends: libxapp1 (= 2.2.8-1) but 2.8.1+klbkjammy is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
So I presume the problem code is still in the system?
I really appreciate the help you have both given, but I think at this point rather than spend any more time it'll be quicker just to re-install the OS (and I've learned a lesson in installing stuff).
Highly likely.
During the time that the repositories were active, system upgrades were run (Indeed, you noticed issues after upgrading to 17.3). When that happened, it probably changed some packages to a different version than what Zorin OS is using.
Clear out your APT cache and clean it
sudo apt clean && sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt remove --purge nemo
Fixing Zorin OS packages:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop zorin-os-default-settings zorin-os-desktop-default-settings nautilus libnautilus-extension1a
sudo dpkg --configure -a
Once done without errors - Reboot, (Full system shutdown and then start) then, test installing Nemo, if you still want to install it.
Also, test drag n' drop.
OK, this gives an error:
E: Unable to locate package zorin-os-desktop-default-settings
I see now that I also listed it twice...
That is an odd output...:
apt search zorin-os-default-settings ─╯
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
zorin-os-default-settings/jammy,jammy,now 17.4.2 all [installed]
Default settings for Zorin OS
What does apt search zorin-os-default-settings yield in your terminal?
....And correcting the above...
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --reinstall zorin-os-desktop zorin-os-default-settings nautilus libnautilus-extension1a
apt search zorin-os-default-settings
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
zorin-os-default-settings/jammy,jammy,now 17.4.2 all [installed]
Default settings for Zorin OS
This looks to be installing now. I shall be back after a reboot.
Thank you.
I see what happened!
I scrolled up - I had noticed, after your post, that I seemed to include a package twice. Nope.
My brain had a short circuit and blew a fuse...
I combined zorin-os-desktop and zorin-os-default-settings into one package while typing out the command creating a nonexistent zorin-os-desktop-default-settings
I can only guess that typing it out, I was thinking of both packages and my fingers and brain were moving at different speeds.
Ha. Instant package combinator. It happens to me too.
Anyway, after reboot: no drag'n'drop, and sudo apt install nemo still gives the same error as before.
I shall be back in the morning.
