I removed libfm-common and it took off lxqt-core, then I updated libfm-qt11 and re-added lxqt-core and it seemed to fix everything.

What are the exact steps I have to do? Could you please provide the commands?
sudo apt remove libfm-common (this will want to remove lxqt-core, let it)
sudo apt upgrade (to update packages on list)
sudo apt install lxqt-core (putting things back in order)
sudo apt remove libfm-common

Discover says when trying to update libfm-qt11
Package failed to install:
Error while installing package: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/libfm-qt/archivers.list', which is also in package libfm-qt-common 1.1.0-2ubuntu1
This is a known problem. Someone synced libfm-qt from Debian and it broke stuff. A fix has been pushed out and should be available in the near future.
