I send bug reports for apt-get failures. Since apt-get fails, is there a way for me to get updates for this segfault?

Fixed! Ran sudo rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin Then ran LOTS of updates via the Ubuntu software updater.

Long story:

  • Thanks Pilot6 for correcting the formatting on my original post.
  • Was disapointed that no recommended solutions were offered for 3 weeks.
  • Most online solutions to repair Ubuntu packages used apt. All of my attempts to use apt on my computer segfaulted.
  • Finally ran across a 12 year old recommendation to purge cache files (shown above). This was a simple fix. I thought that I had a corrupted libapt-pkg.so executable. apt-get upgrade segfault! Thanks to the authors for recommending that fix 12 years ago.
