dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure):
installed libc-bin package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 134
Errors were encountered while processing:
libc-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
I Tried purging and reinstalling with no success
sudo dpkg --purge --force-all libc-bin
sudo apt-get install libc-bin
Fairly new to Linux so I would love to have someone tell me what I can do to fix this.
Not sure where to look next.
I tried many commands but always get the error dpkg: error processing package libc-bin like you.
The only method that worked for me is below.
Try to install net-tools after these commands.
sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc-bin.*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libc-bin
