[Bug 1867431] Re: ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'libc6'

[RobertH]

Jsut realised that when I deleted the resolv.conf symlink and instead
created a file containing the single line `nameserver 8.8.8.8` in order
to get internet access from the broken system, that change remained once
I got the system working again. But I forgot to note down what it was
pointing to before. I see on my eoan system it's a symlink to
`../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf` so I presume that's also
correct for focal? Just noting it here for other users to remember to
fix afterwards (by deleting the file with `cd /etc/`. `sudo rm
resolv.conf`, and then `sudo ln -s ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-
resolv.conf resolv.conf' (although not sure why it's a relative path and
not an absolute one). Searching Google for automatic ways to do this
didn't lead me to any more automated way that would work on my focal
system which doesn't appear to have the resolvconf package installed.

Title:
  ERROR got an error from dpkg for pkg: 'libc6'

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After the last upgrade I made this morning, at the error of dpkg on the libc6 package, I was no longer able to log in user: sudo apt update, full-upgrade or any login with "sudo", the message was "you have passed 3 attempts for wrong password ", at restart I tried to log in from the grub, recovery, I tried to click" repair package "with no result, not even to start a root shell was not successful, any attempt failed .
  Luckily before the update I took a snapshot with Timeshift on Btrfs, so I have the snapshot still saved in case it was used to reproduce the bug, I also have logs saved, since I have separate subvolumes.
  I enclose everything, if there are other details that can help you, I am available.
  Thank you
