So these are the install instructions for Docker

After you setup the GPG key and prerequisites it basically consists of:

1. Getting the (latest) .deb release from the releases page


2. sudo apt install ./docker-desktop-<version>-<arch>.deb

I was getting the following error:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

Note, selecting 'docker-desktop' instead of './docker-desktop-4.8.1-amd64.deb'

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.

 docker-desktop : PreDepends: init-system-helpers (>= 1.54~) but 1.51 is to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

But if I tried sudo apt upgrade init-system-helpers then I got:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

init-system-helpers is already the newest version (1.51).

What is the solution to this, to install Docker?
