I cannot i reinstall libc-bin on 16.04 - how to fix that? Problem started after failed upgrade 16.04 to 18.04












1















This PC (Dell Optiplex 755) is running Ubuntu 16.04. A week ago, I tried to upgrade to 18.04, but it failed with the "Aborting. Restoring Original state" message. Ever since then, Software Updater has failed, with errors like E: Internal Error, No file name for libc-bin:amd64. (Several other packages updated successfully.) It all worked perfectly before the upgrade attempt.
My most recent attempt to fix things went as follows:



$ apt-get download libc-bin
$ sudo dpkg -x libc-bin*.deb /
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc-bin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 1 reinstalled, 0 to remove and 3 not to upgrade.
1 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
E: Internal Error, No file name for libc-bin:amd64

I also tried "sudo dpkg --configure -a" based on other threads here. That also errors:



~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

    Please use normal Markdown syntax, do not insert "html" tags. Please add output of apt-cache policy libc-bin:amd64 libc6:i386 and dpkg -S /lib/i386-linux-gnu into the body of the question by clicking edit. Also add output of grep -r 86 /etc/ld.so.conf.d to the question, get output of sudo ldconfig --verbose and upload it to pastebin.

    @N0rbert I agree with your thinking: it has to be something to do with multiarch - maybe version mismatch between i386 and amd64 packages or the like?

  • Well, I decided to restore my from my clone of it. It worked in terms of fixing Software Updater et al. During restore there were "short read" errors as well as orphaned inodes. As I understand things (not well), these should not be possible since GParted does fsck before copies, and, the clone backup partition was never used after GParted copied to it. I think 1) this disk is starting to have surface problems or other hw problems, and 2) that caused corruption, and 3) the upgrade just exercised it hard enough to reveal problems. Many thanx to all for their efforts

    @N0rbert I agree with your thinking: it has to be something to do with multiarch - maybe version mismatch between i386 and amd64 packages or the like?

  • I have edited (all) those outputs into the question. The last one provokes a "System Error, Report Problem?" to pop up! That last output is (also) in pastebin.com/5DSQggvs

  • Well, I decided to restore my from my clone of it. It worked in terms of fixing Software Updater et al. During restore there were "short read" errors as well as orphaned inodes. As I understand things (not well), these should not be possible since GParted does fsck before copies, and, the clone backup partition was never used after GParted copied to it. I think 1) this disk is starting to have surface problems or other hw problems, and 2) that caused corruption, and 3) the upgrade just exercised it hard enough to reveal problems. Many thanx to all for their efforts
