Hi Andreas, Thanks again for your precious help. We are nearly there. At least it looks like the DPKG issue is lessened.
I am attaching 2 files with the outputs from the terminal. The one without the "bis" is the output I had the first time. Where not much changed in the sense that after restart I still had a pending update from the software manager which stalled at about 90%. The one ending with "bis" is when I tried again after restarting again and again. I was prompted to use "apt --fix-broken install" which apparently fixed most issue as I could fully install that update, then check for more updates from the terminal. What's left is the initial issue, which is that new applications (Clamav or any other) cannot be installed. The process stalls half-way. Should I repeat the full processes from the begining? (Report output for ps fauxwwand sudo lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat) Thanks again and best regards Bernard On 04/07/17 01:06, Andreas Hasenack wrote: > Wow, so many things happened > > Can you try > > "sudo apt install --reinstall libc6-dev"? > ** Attachment added: "reinstall libc6-dev-bis" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698772/+attachment/4910144/+files/reinstall%20libc6-dev-bis ** Attachment added: "reinstall libc6-dev" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698772/+attachment/4910145/+files/reinstall%20libc6-dev -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1698772 Title: package clamav-base 0.99.2+dfsg-6 failed to install/upgrade: package is in a very bad inconsistent state; you should reinstall it before attempting a removal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clamav/+bug/1698772/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
