I am currently on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

When I run sudo apt-get upgrade I receive the following error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libcrypt1 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.25) but it is not installed
 libgcc-s1 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.35) but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

When I attempt apt --fix-broken install and also manually installing libc6 I receive the following error:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3.1_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Then I followed the steps I found on this website for that error message:

None of these steps resolved my issue. Is there anyway to fix these broken package dependencies? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

EDIT: Adding the following requested outputs.

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

  • Do you have both the amd and 32 bit libc6 packages? Check with dpkg -l libc6 – ubfan1 Jun 24 '23 at 18:36
  • I added the output to the original comment. It does not appear I have the 32 bit package. – LastBucsfan Jun 24 '23 at 18:51
  • Unless your system is based on an alternative C implementation like musl, it's hard to see how it can function at all if the libraries provided by the libc6 package were missing - perhaps the package has somehow become marked as not installed in the database, but its files are still there? Does /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 exist for example, and if so, what does dpkg -S /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 report? – steeldriver Jun 24 '23 at 20:36
  • @steeldriver I don't believe I have any kind of special implementation. I use Grub to dual boot Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04. That file does exist. I posted the output in the original post. – LastBucsfan Jun 25 '23 at 01:44
  • Does this answer your question? How do I resolve unmet dependencies after adding a PPA? – karel Jun 25 '23 at 03:17
  • @karel unfortunately none of those corrected the issue either. Most of those commands I had already tried. – LastBucsfan Jun 25 '23 at 03:59
  • Try the path /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu instead of /lib/x86_64-linux-gun on that last dpkg command – ubfan1 Jun 25 '23 at 15:20
  • @ubfan1 that was just a typo in the post. Same output. – LastBucsfan Jun 25 '23 at 17:47

My solution ended up being to clean install Ubuntu 23.04. At this point it was much more efficient. I have Windows, Ubuntu, and my data all on separate drives, so nothing important is lost and setting Ubuntu up is fast and easy.
