Can't update since I cloned to an SSD HD

[Eazent]

There appears to be 2 problems here. Other forums recommended removing "ubuntu-mono" and reinstall it. But when I try permission was denied. The other error I couldn't find any help on....Has anyone here ever seen something like this?

Things that you should try

Code: Select all

sudo apt --fix-broken install

if that don't work try this

Here are step by step instructions to fix this problem, which appears to be file corruption in the .list files related to these pacakges:

Verify that the .list files are full of garbage:

Code: Select all

cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/<name-of-package>.list

Remove the corrupt .list file:

Code: Select all

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/<name-of-package>.list

Run the reinstall for that package (will show a warning, but should reinstall):

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install <name-of-package> --reinstall

If what happened to me happens to you, each time you run this it will run into another corrupted .list file and you will have to step through many before your system is fixed. If you have many, then step three is optional -- just run one sudo apt upgrade at the end and it will reinstall everything you need.

by the way, maybe your clone wasn't properly done and you may have even more files that were corrupted on the cloning process.

Check if you are missing some kernel dll files

no luck yet. step one said "no such file of directory."
step 2 resulted in 0 new upgrades/removals/new installs
step 3, again no such file or directory.
step 4, same result as original post.

did you replaced the <name-of-package> with the name of the package that is giving you errors?
