I have a fresh install from USB on partition 4 of a dual boot system. partition 5 is also running 21.10, but that partition is a backup which does NOT update. it was last updated 9/5 manually.
Following fresh install, i ran update/upgrade apt commands. recieved the dpkg error messages above. After steve's fix, i was able to update the libffi8 pkg via recovery mode root shell. However, this did not fix the system. it still has the same issue. dpkg and apt both show no broken packages and an up-to-date system as of 0700 today. apt show reports the -ubuntu4 version now installed. I am assuming that the crashed update to the -unubtu3 version broke something else? any ideas how to restore short of reinstalling yet again, and if i do reinstall, could there be another conflict that will break it again?
