    Error on upgrade or install a package

    Hi to all,

    I´ve encountered a problem when I try to upgrade or install any package:

    This is the result to execute the command sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade:

    Extracting templates from packages: 100%
    Preconfiguring packages ...
    (Reading database ... 61996 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to unpack .../libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3.6_amd64.deb ...
    dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new libc6:amd64 package pre-installation script (/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst): Permission denied
    dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3.6_amd64.deb (--unpack):
    new libc6:amd64 package pre-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
    dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new libc6:amd64 package post-removal script (/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/postrm): Permission denied
    dpkg: error while cleaning up:
    new libc6:amd64 package post-removal script subprocess returned error exit status 2
    Errors were encountered while processing:
    /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3.6_amd64.deb
    E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)



    I followed these steps to try to fix it:
    1. sudo chmod 1777 /var/lib/dpkg/
    2. sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.*
    3. sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/libc6_2.35-0ubuntu3.6_amd64.deb (to force the instalation without preinstalation scripts)
    At this point I obtain a similar error
    4. Repair unmet dependencies: sudo apt --fix-broken install
    At this point I obtain a similar error (permission denied)
    5. Reboot the system
    Nothing works

    Has anyone faced something similar?
    Please, any help will be apretiated.

    Thnx
    Carmen

    Hi. community
    the problem is solved!:

    Fixed fstab file, as the /var/ partition was mounted as noexec
