[Bug 1943312] Re: dependency problems of version 3.4.2-1ubuntu3

[Nadya Sarankhova]

I have a fresh install from USB on partition 4 of a dual boot system.
partition 5 is also running 21.10, but that partition is a backup which
does NOT update.  it was last updated 9/5 manually.

Following fresh install, i ran update/upgrade apt commands.  recieved
the dpkg error messages above.  After steve's fix, i was able to update
the libffi8 pkg via recovery mode root shell.  However, this did not fix
the system.  it still has the same issue.

dpkg and apt both show no broken packages and an up-to-date system as of
0700 today.

apt show reports the -ubuntu4 version now installed.
I am assuming that the crashed update to the -unubtu3 version broke something else?  any ideas how to restore short of reinstalling yet again, and if i do reinstall, could there be another conflict that will break it again?

all yours, it you have a suggestion or need info, let me know what
commands to run and where to post/send the output.
