  • Only Ubuntu and official flavors of Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) are on-topic here, refer to https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic where you'll find other SE sites where you question will be welcome if you don't want to use a Kali forum. (One advantage of Ubuntu is it's many support options, you opted for Kali so take advantage of its support options, or SE Unix & Linux found in the on-topic link) https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/should-i-use-kali-linux/ – guiverc Mar 02 '22 at 03:57
  • No package(s) in your paste match on-topic OS/releases. Ubuntu 22.04 doesn't yet exist; it's currently the development release Ubuntu jammy and remains that until it reaches RC state which isn't expected until after 14 April 2022, and isn't on-topic here until release on 21 April 2022. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-schedule/23906 Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic. For support issues with Ubuntu jammy you'll need to use a #ubuntu-next or #ubuntu+1 site (IRC, UF etc) – guiverc Mar 02 '22 at 03:58
  • I have met this in the soon-to-be-released Kubuntu 22.04 and solved it by installing libwacom-common and then (to avoid conflicts and other errors reported by apt in terminal after that) by simply using Discover instead of other tools. – cipricus Apr 15 '22 at 18:38

same issue today. if you need to or want to keep the package like me, just run:

sudo apt install libwacom-common

it will install the missing package and after that

sudo apt update

It will run like a train.

    Thanks. Running like a Japanese bullet train – GMaster Apr 07 '22 at 16:34
  • After that, in 22.04 updates couldn't be made with apt in terminal, because of all upgradable packages being held back, but Discover worked just fine. – cipricus Apr 15 '22 at 21:38

You need to remove the package:

  1. sudo apt remove libwacom2
  2. sudo apt upgrade

I hope it works for you.
