I have a slightly complicated setup, let me explain first. I have an ssd I gave 10gb to linux. My hdd has an old 120GB linux partition. So I boot from the ssd and have home and tmp etc on there, but I bind mount as much of the hard drive as I can so that programs gets installed there (ala Steam). I was running 12.10, saw that there was a new release, did do-release-upgrade, everything succeeded but on reboot mount couldn't find libraries. So I changed my fstab to not bind mount anything, did a new install of 13.04 onto the ssd without formatting. Then I remounted my bound dirs, everything was working fine, could run my old and new apps. Then I went to set it up so I could use my Nexus 7 via file manager. I went and added a ppa and installed some packages, mtpfs I think and one more. Problem is they were for 12.10.
Here's my fstab at the moment:
I used to have the last 3 uncommented but couldn't boot, something about libc6 again. So commented those out, not much will install there anyway, and was able to boot.Code:# /etc/fstab: static file system information.# # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> # / was on /dev/sda3 during installation UUID=0b115957-998c-492f-83f0-2f0bc0cdd62a / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # /mnt/linux was on /dev/sdb5 during installation UUID=c165c7b3-f5aa-4379-94c8-9fb25830909e /mnt/linux ext4 defaults 0 2 # swap was on /dev/sdb6 during installation UUID=6de58d89-f303-4f63-8784-76748f960e20 none swap sw 0 0 ##RAMDISK## none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0 #my bind mounts /mnt/linux/bin /bin none bind 0 0 /mnt/linux/usr /usr none bind 0 0 /mnt/linux/opt /opt none bind 0 0 /mnt/linux/var /var none bind 0 0 #/mnt/linux/lib32 /lib32 none bind 0 0 #/mnt/linux/lib64 /lib64 none bind 0 0 #/mnt/linux/lib /lib none bind 0 0
Anyway when I installed the mtpfs files I guess they replaced a lib with an earlier version cause all hell broke loose. Unbootable system, mountall would say bad file descriptors. I fixed that by linking some libraries and also not bind mounting /lib. Also gave my linux partition 5gb more via gparted, extending to the left, which it warned might cause boot problems. It did, using a live cd I got through everything, made use of boot-repair.
So that's many hours of work but I'm booting ok, and I figured since I'd had /usr and /lib etc bind mounted when I first upgraded to 13.04, then when I installed 13.04 completely on the SSD, I figured all libraries should be up to date - 13.04 was on the SSD and HDD.
Anyway after I installed those mtpfs programs I can't do ANYtHING in package manager/synaptic. I have two broken packages on my system per synaptic: libc6-i386 and libudev1. I mark them for reinstallation and it wants to upgrade "libc6" and "libc6:i386" and re-install "libc6-i386" and "libudev1". I hit apply and get this:
E: Internal Error, No file name for libudev1:amd64
I think my libraries are messed up - synaptic says libc6 is version 2.15-0ubuntu20.1 but will be upgraded to version 2.17-0ubuntu5. I'm pretty sure raring needs 2.17.
Ok next, at the command line, I can't apt-get anything.
sudo apt-get -f install:
I get that error about the C library when I try to do ANYTHING with apt-get. I've done clean, remove, autoclean, etc, and yet somehow anytime I try to install a package I'll get the error about dependencies on that C library. Once I removed that library by mv'ing like it said and I suddenly couldn't even ls or sudo. Obviously an important library.Code:justin@justin-FX6831:/lib/i386-linux-gnu$ sudo apt-get -f install [sudo] password for justin: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? justin@justin-FX6831:/lib/i386-linux-gnu$ sudo apt-get -f install Reading package lists...

I'm using the newest llbc6 but dpkg thinks I still have the old 2.15 installed. And since 2.17 is a dependency for just about everything, apt-get ALWAYS wants to download and install it. But I can't even install 2.17 due to that error:Code:justin@justin-FX6831:~$ dpkg -l libc6Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============================================-============================-============================-================================================================================================= ii libc6:amd64 2.15-0ubuntu20.1 amd64 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libc6:i386 2.15-0ubuntu20.1 i386 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared libraries justin@justin-FX6831:~$
tl;dr - I get that same error above about libc not being safe to upgrade when I try to do ANYTHING with apt-get. Blocking me from installing anything. So what do I do at this point to fix my apt-get/dpkg?Code:justin@justin-FX6831:/var/cache/apt/archives$ sudo dpkg -i *deb(Reading database ... 141140 files and directories currently installed.)
