Eddy Installation Error: Child Process Exited with Code 100


During the installation of any .deb package using Eddy on Pop.OS, I encounter the following error message, leading to a premature termination of the installation process:

com.github.dinadigo.eddy Child process failed, exited with error number 100

How can I solve this issue?

I've tried installing other .deb packages to determine whether the problem was specific to the initially installed .deb package. However, the issue persisted across all installations.


Solution

  • I had the same issue while updating Visual Studio Code and managed to solve it by running:

    sudo apt clean
    sudo apt update
    sudo dpkg --configure -a
    sudo apt install -f
    sudo apt full-upgrade
    sudo apt autoremove --purge
