This did not work for me as seen in my previous post and it does not include alternative methods, such as the one I used. Also there are other posters in this thread that are not seeing these system update messages. Are they too intentionally or unintentionally breaking their install?
It doesn't work because you in fact broke your install; you replaced some of the software on which osso-software-version-rx34 depends. So you have to fix that by up/downgrading them to original versions, or using osso-software-version-rx34-unlocked (which allows upgraded versions of dependencies). Once you've resolved this and gotten a valid osso-software-version package in, everything's good to go.
