UPDATE: after steve's fix to the related bug i installed the new -ubuntu4 version of libffi8 via recovery mode root shell & apt install. It has made no difference. the system is still unbootable.
Fresh install from USB; ran commands "sudo apt update && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt autoremove && reboot" that's all I've done. System info: Dual boot, running ubuntu 21.10 on partitions 4 & 5. Part 4 affected. Part 5 running normally, however part 5 DOES NOT update. Part 5 last update manually on 9/5. dpkg finds no broken packages, nor does apt --fix-broken. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1943362 Title: update to this pkg crashes fresh install of ubuntu preventing long-in screen from appearing or anything else To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libffi/+bug/1943362/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
