Additional information: - the container is a "VPS" provided by a popular local hosting company Interneto Vizija (https://iv.lt) - they have their own patched 2.6.32-042stab138.1 kernel that I have no capability of upgrading - the upgrade process shows a fancy ncurses warning that libc6 requires a newer kernel version (3.2 or later), but provides no option to abort the upgrade at that point
Recovering from the failed upgrade appears to be simple: - change bionic back to xenial in /etc/apt/sources.list - apt install locales/xenial libc6-dev/xenial libc6-dbg/xenial libc-dev-bin/xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1840658 Title: package libc6 2.23-0ubuntu11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/1840658/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
