I try to use android-tools/fastboot commands like

fastboot devices

Then I get the error message

fastboot: symbol lookup error: fastboot: undefined symbol: _ZN13TemporaryFileD1Ev

I try two way to install:

sudo apt install fastboot

and

sudo apt install android-tools-fastboot

Error message is the same for both.

Here is some outputs:

pm@dev:~$ which fastboot
/usr/bin/fastboot

pm@dev:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/fastboot
fastboot: /usr/bin/fastboot

pm@dev:~$ ldd /usr/bin/fastboot

  • How did you installed FastBoot? Please add output of which fastboot, dpkg -S $(which fastboot) and ldd $(which fastboot) to the question. – N0rbert Aug 21 '19 at 13:28

I ran into this too, getting 

fastboot: symbol lookup error: fastboot: undefined symbol: _ZN13TemporaryFileD1Ev

The problem in my case was an older adb package, which I installed about a year ago. Upgrading this and the companion android-libadb

apt-get install adb android-libadb

to the newest version solved the issue for me.

apt-get installed and updated a whole bunch of other packages as well. Investigating further shows, that the relevant symbol is provided by libbase.so.0, which in turn can be updated by

apt-get install android-libbase

I haven't tested, if this alone is sufficient, but you might get away with it.

Please ensure that you have installed all updates and that your repositories are correctly set (you have all pockets main, universe, multiverse and restricted with all updates enabled bionic-updates, bionic-security). If unsure check this.

Then run:

sudo apt-get update # to update package lists
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade # to get newest dependencies

I can't reproduce your issue on clean installed and fully-updated Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

The ldd's output differs from yours by a few of lines (addresses removed to be more clear):

...
libcrypto.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/android/libcrypto.so.0
libcrypto_utils.so.0 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/android/libcrypto_utils.so.0
libusb-1.0.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0
libudev.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1
librt.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/librt.so.1
...

and from basing on these differences I'll recommend to install the following packages:

sudo apt-get install android-libboringssl android-libcrypto-utils libudev1 libusb-1.0-0

and retry.
