      Hi,
      after installing last Opera Update to the last release I always get a opera-stable error when I install any Linux package.

      sudo dpkg --configure -a
      Configurando opera-stable (68.0.3618.173) ...
      dpkg: error al procesar el paquete opera-stable (--configure):

      Se encontraron errores al procesar:
       opera-stable
      
      

      When I install/reinstall Opera I get the same error in opera-stable:

      in opera-stable

      E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
      
      

      I have reinstall opera-stable (from .deb package and via wget) several times with the same result. It works but I always get the same error when I install/upgrade any Linux Package.
      I even deleted everything related with Opera and reinstall again from scatch, but nothing solve it.
      The only thing affecting Opera installation was the subtitution of the file libffmpeg.so in the path /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opera from the one coming in chromium-ffmpeg-extras because I couldn't play Videos in Opera. But reinstalling Opera return it to the Opera libffmpeg.so file, so I don't think it is related with the issue.
      I will appreciate any help.

        Hi @lixbeto, you can try to call apt-get -f install to fix the issue with Opera's installation. If this doesn't help, uninstall Opera, and try to install it from the .deb as follows dpkg -i --force-all name.deb.
        Regarding the libffmpeg.so, to avoid it to be overwritten by Opera's update, don't copy it over the Opera's one, but go to Opera's install root, add "lib_extra" subfolder, and copy the lib there.

          Thank you l33t4opera for your help.
          Yes, I tryed the installation with apt-get -f install, but it didn't solve the issue.
          I also installed opera with the deb forcing the installation, but still get the error with the opera-stable package.
          Good to know that is better don't overwrite the libffmpeg.so file I will try it. Actually, I didn't overwrite it, I just renamed the original file, so I could come back to it if it were necessary, but the one from the chromium-ffmpeg-extra or the original one didn't reverse this issue, so I am not sure this thing is related with the problem.
          My perception is it is related just the the last Opera update. I can't test it installing previous version because I don't find it, I don't know if exists some kind of archive with older versions.

            @lixbeto By overwrite I mean to not replace the lib in Opera's root, to avoid it to be overwritten by the next update.
            What is your Linux distro and version?
            What if you uninstall the Opera, does this solve the problem with the packages manager? If so, try to unpack the files to the installation root from the .deb, and you should be fine as you says.
            By the way: there's already the latest Opera stable 69.0.3686.36.
            You can find previous versions of stable here.

                I am using Linux Mint 19.2 Cinnamon.
                Uninstalling Opera didn't solve the problem, I did it several times, even I removed any file named opera or opera-stable before install it again.
                As I said, Opera is working for me, that is not the issue, but installing any update in Linux Mint of any app gives me this error, which is annoying but I don't know if it has any impact in the app's update.
                Looks like, I am not the only one with this issue and apparently it also happens with the newest version.

                  By the way, thank you very much for the Opera repository.
                  I am going to test with previous versions.

                    Nope, too bad. Installing some other Opera previous version didn't do the trick. Still with the same error.

                      Apparently with this workaround solved the issue:

                      sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info /var/lib/dpkg/info_old     
                      sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/info             
                      sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
                      sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/* /var/lib/dpkg/info_old    
                      sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/info             
                      sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info_old /var/lib/dpkg/info

                      I have installed some other application to check and now it doesn't show that message.
                      I will test again with any update as long as some is available.

                        @lixbeto I'm also on Mint 19.2 and the latest upgrade to Opera 70.0 caused this error, but luckily your fix solved it. Many thanks!
