  • Is that one line the only output you get? If not, please add more output, preferably the entire output of the command if it's not too large. – Luke Woodward Oct 23 '22 at 21:10
  • there is an installation [script](https://stackoverflow.com/a/74588698/6482931) as a last resort situation. – Monsieur Merso Jan 11 '23 at 08:46
  • [The installation docs for 22.04](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/install/linux-ubuntu#2204) don't mention any `dotnet6` package. It's either `dotnet-sdk-6.0` for the full SDK or `dotnet-runtime-6.0` for the runtime and `aspnetcore-runtime-6.0` for ASP.NET Core applications.

This worked for me.

sudo apt remove dotnet*
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/microsoft-prod.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dotnet6

If the Dotnet SDK is already installed on the system try the following it will help

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get upgrade

And if prompted yes or no choose yes for the .net framework otherwise if you don't know what you are doing choose no, that command is going to upgrade all your installed software and the kernel, so, be careful if you are relying on some old specific version of packages for your software to run

maybe it will ask you to restart

    apt upgrade is dangerous, don't – knocte Jan 12 '23 at 10:55

    `sudo apt-get upgrade` is a 'guns on sparrows' approach for the given problem and does not guarantee to fix it. Please improve or delete your answer because it could lead to unwanted package-upgrades and possible further problems. – mamen Jan 16 '23 at 07:23
