Recently, I have clicked on the upgrade button to upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 from 18.04. I think the upgrade didn't finish installing everything for some reason...

The system works fine but, every time I try using apt I get the following errors:

xyz@xyz-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED
  linux-image-4.15.0-154-generic
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 1 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
1 not fully installed or removed.

I wonder if anyone has any idea about what I can do to solve this issue as I am not sure if I have any backup?

  • please add dpkg -l | egrep -v '^ii|rc' to your question. To many errors sound not good. – nobody Sep 10 '21 at 18:55

    Does this answer your question? How to fix kernel issue after upgrading from 18.10 to 19.04?. Did you have grub-customizer installed before? – N0rbert Sep 10 '21 at 19:04
  • Just finished checking dpkg -l | egrep -v '^ii|rc' :

  • I have seen something similar occur with Rstudio, libssl-related web development, and others. In each case it was non-Ubuntu software bolted onto an LTS that was not properly removed before the release-upgrade. Had to uninstall the non-Ubuntu software, then solve any remaining release-upgrade errors, then install a new version of the non-Ubuntu software that was properly compatible with the new release of Ubuntu. – user535733 Sep 10 '21 at 19:30
  • Did you mean "Can run apt-get, but it exists with errors"? Because "cannot run apt..." is surely not the case here. – mikewhatever Sep 10 '21 at 19:31
  • Only sudo apt upgrade and sudo apt install -f exits with errors, @mikewhatever. The other one sudo apt update works. – Andy B. Sep 10 '21 at 19:52

DONE! Just finished solving the problem.

Turns out, libcrypto.so.1.0.0 was missing.

I started searching for it with:

xyz@xyz-laptop:~$ sudo locate libcrypto.so.1.0.0
/snap/core/11420/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0

then after fining it I started copying it with:

xyz@xyz-laptop:~$ sudo cp /snap/core/11420/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/

And that's it!

I can now upgrade with sudo apt upgrade.

( I got the idea from here: Ubuntu 18.04: libcrypto.so.1.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory )
