I have an error upgrading ubuntu from 16.04 to 16.10, now i have this:
apt-get -f install
dpkg: error processing package libc6:amd64 (--configure):
package libc6:amd64 is not ready for configuration
cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libsigsegv2:amd64:
libsigsegv2:amd64 depends on libc6 (>= 2.4); however:
Package libc6:amd64 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing package libsigsegv2:amd64 (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6:amd64
libsigsegv2:amd64
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
in the file: /var/lib/dpkg/status
Package: libc6
Status: install reinstreq half-installed
some help?
UPDATE:
dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libc6
dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of libc6:amd64:
... millions of packages...
dpkg: error processing package libc6:amd64 (--remove):
dependency problems - not removing
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc6:amd64
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq libc6, followed bysudo apt updateandsudo apt install libc6. But please read about this option first, it is also said to do more harm than good.
