Ubuntu Version:
24.04
Desktop Environment (if applicable):
GNOME
Problem Description:
Following my journey trying to fix my packages after a small file corruption, I found that I can’t fix the package dictionaries-common
I found this trying to fix the broken packages after fixing my snap and flathub packages (the latter had broken dependencies with python packages)

It also popped an error on the top bar related to apt-get, and gnome backups tried installing dependencies without success, but now after a reboot it’s working as usual.
What I’ve Tried:
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/dict/
I did this because at first the issue it had was that it tried to edit files on that folder, where it had other files and cancelled the installation
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dictionaries-common
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: dictionaries-common está roto o no está totalmente instalado
I tried this because of the error returned by sudo apt --fix-broken install , the line where dpkg fails processing the package dictionaries-common (–configure)
sudo apt dist-upgrade
I read this on resolving hard upgrade issues, just in case I could fix my upgrade and resolve this error, it installed some packages, had some diff issues changing the name of Ubuntu version from 24.04.3 to 24.04.4 and returned an error with the same package, dictionaries-common

Other possibly related issues
In my way to find how to remove the update with kernel 6.7.0-14, that now I’ve seen that it’s not recommended although I was just doing it to avoid booting the wrong version because of my keyboard not responding sometimes on boot.
I found that dpkg -l | grep linux-image and sudo dpkg --list | egrep 'linux-image|linux-headers' don’t return anything.
Could it be that I have another broken package that I’m missing?
