opps sorry! its ok after a second reboot!

My solution: I download libelf1_0.182+20210203-1.1+b1_i386.deb then overwrite elfutils.mo with

Code: [Select]

apt update //
dpkg -i --force-overwrite libelf1_0.182+20210203-1.1+b1_i386.deb && apt upgrade
And I think he means elfutils.mo.bak|.old not elfutils.mo-back?

[towo]

Names are smoke and mirrors, the main thing is that the file is no longer available.

There is also a version mis-match between 32 and 64 bit. I have i386 architecture enabled for a couple packages.
