Zorin OS lvm2 Install error on Gnome Boxes after Flatpack Uninstall

[allen04084]

The Flatpack version installed correctly and I was able to make a Win 8.1 VM successfully. This is with Zorin 16.1 Core.

Once I discovered the Flatpack version did not pass through USB to the host and that the "Zorin OS" version was the fix, I uninstalled Gnome Boxes. Per this post: Gnome Boxes- No USB redirection on Flatpak - #5 which sited a successful "Zorin OS" install.

After uninstalling the Flatpack version, via "Software" uninstall, and then installing the "Zorin OS" version I got an install error:

Any idea why I'm getting this error with the Zorin OS version of Gnome Boxes??? I tried again after apt-get autoremove gnome-boxes but got the same result.

Can you please open a terminal and run

sudo apt install gnome-boxes

and relay any errors it details here?

I found the problem:

After uninstall of Gnome-boxes via "Software" (after the install with the LVM2 error) I ran the following:

sudo apt purge lvm2 && sudo apt install lvm2

per this post:

Every time I install or remove a package I get LVM2 error

When using the "Zorin OS" version of the install, there are bad dependencies for lvm2. Purge and reinstall lvm2 per above and the "Zorin OS" version of Gnome-boxes installs correctly via "Software".

As the post points out, this may also happen on other package installs. The error is:

dpkg: error processing package lvm2 (--configure):
 installed lvm2 package post-installation script subprocess returned error status 1
