Describe your issue:

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask but installing klipperscreen keeps failing. Klipper, Mainsail and Moonraker were no problem. Klipper runs on the PI and I printed with it via mainsail without problem. Everything was installed with KIAUH, exept Klipperscreen, here I get the message that it is incomplete after the failed installation. I have tried it again several times but it keeps failing.

Try

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/xterm.list # <-- Check /var/lib/dpkg/info/ for the correct name, but should be 'xterm'
sudo apt install xterm --reinstall

What kind of Linux distribution is this?
It seems the Linux installation is pretty much screwed up. Never seen such errors. It also throws the same for some libhtml-parser-perl.

I’d take a fresh SD card and provision a new original “Raspberry Pi OS” on it and redo the Klipper install with KIAUH. Probably a lot faster than trying to fix this.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try, I got new 32GB SD cards. If I use the Raspberry Pi Imager and KIAUH I can assume that I have a good version of the software.

What I noticed is that after the SD cards that are written with the imager and I put them back in the pc, only 250MB remains of the original 128GB size. Is this normal?

A Windows PC cannot read most parts of a Linux SD card / HDD etc., so, yes, this is normal.

Ok, good to know.
In the meantime I got my two raspberries working again, everything seems to work.
What was strange, first I installed and tested everything except klipperscreen. Only then I installed klipperscreen with KIAUH, on the PI it worked immediately and I could operate the printer. What did not work anymore was via PUTTY, here everything remained blocked after the installation of Klipperscreen and I did not get a KIAUH menu anymore. After the reboot everything worked normally again, I am not worried about it, I just wanted to mention it.

Thanks for the help, I learned something new again.
