This is an addendum to my original message. Einstein defined insanity as: "trying the same thing and expecting a different answer". In spite of that I tried apt-get dist-upgrade again and got: root@AbNormal:/home/comp# apt dist-upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Calculating upgrade... Done The following packages will be upgraded: libarchive13 tzdata 2 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. 1 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0 B/567 kB of archives. After this operation, 12.3 kB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Accepting the default I got:
ldconfig: Writing of cache data failed: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: libc-bin E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) root@AbNormal:/home/comp# slightly different from my first message. -------- Forwarded Message --------
I am running Debian Stretch and have just encountered a problem during a routine apt-get dist-upgrade. Specifically, it failed with the following error messages. E: libc-bin: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Please advise. Thanks in advance. -- Stephen P.
