This happens when trying to update things in apt in PopOS. Tell me if more info is needed. I hope I posted to the right community.>>>

Porblem solved! I downloaded the libklibc package manually.
There’s also an another thread on the PopOS community.
Have you wiped your
/lib/?Intentionally or by mistake? Do you mean that if I would have wiped it that would result in apt not finding it? If you mean that then I haven’t intentionally at least. There is things there so it should be good. Also what do you mean by please increase the window size of your terminal?
This suggests your terminal is too small for debconf output. Could be missing some important log output.
If your
/libis intact, then you might need to reinstallinitramfs-tools.Check if the missing file exits:
If it does - it could a permission issue.
dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-toolsmight fix it.If it doesn’t - try reinstalling
initramfs-tools:Thanks! Yea it seems like initramfs-tools is broken.
The problem is that apt can’t find the initramfs-tools file. I don’t think I have seen that error before.
OK, this is concerning. Try downloading the installer and installing it manually:
Yea the problem’s pretty bad it seems.
OK, so that did not trigger the reinstallation of the missing file. Try reinstalling
libklibc:Tried that already. The installation tries to run but the problem blocks it from running.
Also please increase the window size of your terminal.
And use tripe backticks to paste terminal output/code. Makes it easier to read.
