Thanks for that. What is the best way to run sudo apt —fix-broken-install on the remote client?

Hi @mladen.miljic , you can always ssh into the device and run the command manually. Alternatively you can setup a state script to run that. Depending on your needs a preinstall or a postinstall script might be the best choice. Drew
