This issue occured again today when upgrading another server from 18.04 to 20.04
here is a snippet and i'll try to guess what may be happening ========== Stopping some services possibly affected by the upgrade (will be restarted later): cron: stopping...done. Unpacking libc6:amd64 (2.31-0ubuntu9.9) over (2.27-3ubuntu1.5) ... Progress: [ 16%] /usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dpkg: error while cleaning up: rm command for cleanup subprocess returned error exit status 127 /usr/bin/perl: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing archive /tmp/apt-dpkg-install-HpZRay/04-libcrypt1_1%3a4.4.10-10ubuntu4_i386.deb (--unpack): rm command for cleanup subprocess returned error exit status 127 ======= We had i386 architecture installed on this server due to an old 32bit program, could this be caused by the upgrade of the 32bit version of libcrypt1 ? We also had a systemd unit running swatch on some log files which runs with perl which was not stopped like cron did , could this also cause perl to fail ? My last guess would be if that safe-rm is installed somehow doesn't return correctly and should be removed before the upgrade I hope my observations helps you solve this issue -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1903838 Title: package libcrypt1 1:4.4.10-10ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: rm command for cleanup subprocess returned error exit status 127 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxcrypt/+bug/1903838/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
