[Bug 1966791] Re: package initramfs-tools-core 0.136ubuntu6.7 failed to install/upgrade: problèmes de dépendances - laissé non configuré

[Benjamin Drung]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The relevant dpkg terminal log says:

Paramétrage de cpio (2.13+dfsg-2ubuntu0.3) ...
update-alternatives: erreur: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/mt corrompu : état non valable
dpkg: erreur de traitement du paquet cpio (--configure) :
 installed cpio package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
Paramétrage de firefox (98.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) ...
update-alternatives: erreur: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-www-browser corrompu : état non valable
dpkg: erreur de traitement du paquet firefox (--configure) :

Paramétrage de thunderbird (1:91.7.0+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) ...
dpkg: des problèmes de dépendances empêchent la configuration de initramfs-tools-core :
 initramfs-tools-core dépend de cpio (>= 2.12) ; cependant :
 Le paquet cpio n'est pas encore configuré.

Translated with DeepL.com:

cpio setup (2.13+dfsg-2ubuntu0.3) ...
update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/mt corrupted: invalid state
dpkg: cpio package processing error (--configure) :
 installed cpio package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
firefox setup (98.0.1+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) ...
update-alternatives: error: /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/gnome-www-browser corrupted: invalid status
dpkg: firefox package processing error (--configure) :
 installed firefox package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 2
Setting up thunderbird (1:91.7.0+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of initramfs-tools-core :
 initramfs-tools-core depends on cpio (>= 2.12); however :
 The cpio package is not yet configured.

initramfs-tools-core fails to install because cpio fails to configure.
Please run:

sudo apt-get install -f

Did that solve your problem?
