please ignore this one "systemd-timesyncd", b/c it is not installed anyway.

Re: Issues running MX updater

the computer reboot each time (i've tried for "sudo dpkg --configure linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64 linux-headers-5.10.0-21-amd64" and other order "sudo dpkg --configure linux-headers-5.10.0-21-amd64 linux-image-5.10.0-21-amd64")

=> before MX Linux, i've tried to install UBUNTU, and after the installation from USB live, at first boot, the computer were rebooting during the loading of the system. I've tried several installation also LINUX MINT, and always rebooting during the system load!! , i finally give up with UBUNTU but it perhaps a problem with the new BIOS of my motherboard (i think MSI tells is a beta BIOS)

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

i've made a new clean installation of MX LINUX, and after first update the PC reboot, and now i can't acces to the updater (it aske me « dpkg --configure -a », if i do, the PC reboot), system is clean without any apps such as windscribe...
=> i think my PC have a hardware problem : my motherboard is new under garrantee, i will try also with a old CPU...
Thanks for your help and the time passed fehlix !!!

edit 01 = i change the CPU (replace RYZEN 5 5600G by ATHLON 300G) : no reboot, all the things works well !!!

edit 02 : i found : my power supply (60W) is too low for the 5600G, i change for a 120W power supply
