Big problem computer not booting
I run Debian stretch on MacBook Air
I did a restore backup from previous system[debian Jessie ]
Now machine is not booting
upon boot the machine gives the normal GRUB menu:
Debian GNU/Linux
Advanced options for Debian GNU/linux
Click the 1st one
saying
Loading etc
Loading initial ram disk
then a list of checks
[ 0.049346] DMAR-IR:[Firmware Bug] : ioapic 2 has no mappin iommu, interrupt remapping will be disabled

[FAILED] Failed to start Network Manager Wait Online.
See 'systemctl status NetwrokManager-wait-online.service' for details.
then a list of things starting all [OK]
and then nothing happens
Switching the machine off and re-starting it into the advance option i get some root access and i see al my files.
I am not able to connect to the internet
When trying to do something like apt-get update
the system returns that a shared library libapt-pkg.so.4.12 is not installed.
but I have no internet access so I cannot either find the lib or install it. And so I cannot update the system and it feels like a catch 22
I could really do with some help
