Every atp command returns an avalanche of errors, I freed up some space but the package management stuff seems gone and I can’t seem to fix it. Should I fresh install?
SOLUTION: Okay first of all thanks to all the people who replied to me and pointed me to the right direction, the issue was I was having full disk space and missing a few apt libraries which prevented the commands to run succesfully. I solved by freeing up some space, chrooting inside my corrupted environment from a live USB (there’s plenty of guides online on how to do this correctly), I downloaded (from debian package search) and installed manually with dpkg a few packages: apt-transport-https, curl, and libnettle8t64 which apt-transport-https required and which was the one actually solving the problem. After that apt --fix-broken install could run succesfully and every further apt command worked without issues, upgraded the system and now it is booting fine! Again, thank you so much @mumblerfish@lemmy.world, @utopiah@lemmy.ml @hendrik@palaver.p3x.de, @ThanksForAllTheFish@sh.itjust.works, @BassTurd@lemmy.world, @IsoKiero@sopuli.xyz !
You might have too many old kernels installed. This would potentially fill up the /boot partition. One way to check this is:
Look for the line indicating space left for /boot.
You can then get a list of the installed kernels with:
If you need to remove old ones, use
uname -ato identify the running kernel (should be the latest version if you’ve rebooted after the last kernel update) then remove all of the older kernel packages with:More generally speaking, I think that
sudo apt autoremoveshould leave you with only the latest 2 kernel packages by default.apt autoremove says dependencies are lacking
apt --fix-broken install gives me:
