Lenovo duet 3 says it already installed a package

[TristanMeuschel]

Hello,

I am using a Lenovo duet 3, Model: Lenovo CT-X636F, and I am struggling to upload linux to this device. And I followed everything on this github page. There are a few hickups here and there: like where I need to use apt-get update to refresh the download repositories, get through updating said repositories without loading the app first (never figured out just went through the wifi connect and canceled the program to do apt-get update).

I want to upload Cadmium v0.4.0-pre2, file cadmium-arm64-debian.img.xz via rufus to a usb, then through the enabled developer mode chromebook table with usb boot enabled, I boot from the said usb in the one usb port in the entire tablet (used for both the usb drive and POWER), to then upload to the emmc on the tablet cadmium/debian.

Problem is, that when the installation comes to the end of the installation, it says I already have an installed package then exits. I try to boot from the main emmc, and it bails out of booting. I can fill in the package that is already installed later since right now I need to charge my laptop (it keeps on saying your battery is about to discharge, which I think just mean low battery).

This is all to just make a long term dedicated xournal++ tablet that I will write on with a pen. Chromeos is so bloated that note taking on there feels awful (cuts out mid writing every couple of second for updates, and other apps cannot load entire pdfs). The only thing I feel is wrong with this idea is that the drivers required to make the tablet feel correct will probably not be there (but I'll see). First I just want to try and get this working before the end of this year, so I'll have something in the upcoming semesters.

Switching from sid to stable in the config will also work.
