I think it's because there's some conflict with the dependencies, but i've been unable to fix it myself, hence this post.

Take a look @ these two pics:

It says "libssl3" is not the newest version but, when i try to upgrade it, it says it depends on "libc6", which is ALREADY the newest version, despite it saying it's not.

So ... something's amiss ... but i don't know what, nor how to fix it.


I'm not 100% certain but, whenever i attempt to upgrade my current Ubuntu (20.04.6 LTS), it does nothing and I THINK it's because of this dependencies issue.
 
Try "sudo apt install libc6-dev". Apparantly your LTS is so out of date that it doesn't even get debian-stable packages. Maybe the dev-version is recent enough.

I'd consider upgrading to Ubuntu 22.

I do "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove" multiple times per week.

When i try to upgrade to version 22, it does nothing.

I think i need to fix the dependencies issue BEFORE upgrading, but dunno how to fix this.

That's normal because of the specific type of file you're downloading. You should have an option to download anyway. Either in the exclamation sign or through right-click context menu
 
I must have done something VERY WRONG, because i'm getting this:

Help?
 
Did you run this as sudo?

Do you have any custom repos enabled or remember installing some custom pacakge previously? It is crazy odd for a vanilla install to have these kinds of problems. I have never seen it unless the OS was touched in some way by a third party program.

Well ... i lost access to EVERYTHING, from to Internet access to home folder ...

Fixed it "the hard way": just installed Ubuntu 24.04, overwriting the previous install ...


Thanks all, regardless: please lock the topic.
