apt broken

[Member Duschgeldrache2]

Hello, after an update that went wrong I’m unable to use apt and apt-get, no matter what options I use. Everytime I try the output is

apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version`GLIBC_2.34′ not found (required by apt)
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29′ not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0)
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33′ not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0)
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32′ not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.6.0)
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34′ not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.6.0)
apt: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33′ not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-pkg.so.6.0)

Any solution?

When you attempt to update are you using elevated privileges? (for instance
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade)

At this point unless these work, reinstall or recover from a recent backup;
my guess is that a reinstallation makes sense.

You need to tell us exactly what you did that led to ‘after an update that went wrong’

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Usually, I don’t make updates from terminal. I use packageinstaller or synaptic. But the update went wrong. It was hanging when doing GRUB2. I let it run overnight and wondered, because the next morning it was at the same point. So I stopped the update. I could repair GRUB2. But when I tried to restart the rest nothing happened. I searched around for some tips. So I tried

apt -f install
sudo dpkg –configure -a

But yet apt went wrong with the output I wrote.

Clear situation to reinstall as .I suggested.
You can “experiment” if you wish, but unless you are a true wizard, this one is done beyond “normal repair”, and that’s why I recommend that you reinstall.

Whole antix? Hoped there could be a way only to reinstall apt.

Here is the problem. If you do not have apt, IF you still have dpkg you might be able to do it,
but if you do not already know this, how are you going to accomplish the task?

For instance, you want to get apt, what command will you use to get it?
Is your apt configuration in /etc/apt/ intact? If so, what files and directories are
there and what are their contents.
.
If you know all of this, use dpkg and fix it. Otherwise I still recommend that you reinstall.
I could hack this, but even knowing how, I would also reinstall, just as I recommend.

You might try removing apt cache then making another dist-upgrade attempt using the terminal.
location of APT cache is /var/lib/apt/lists/

I use packageinstaller or synaptic, opinions vary, mine is use apt whenever possible, I know all tools are frontends.
What is easier for updating than creating a bash alias.
alias upd=’sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade’ Type upd in terminal, press enter, no matter which tool you use elevated
priveliges are needed.

Couple of small tips, Please all users,
install with a separate home, always have an up to date clone of your system which is checked to run live from a USB stick.

System breakeage is rare, if it happens and you are not experienced enough or not prepared to do a lot of searching both
on your system and in the internet to find a solution, just reinstall your fully configured system and be happy.

I’m in general agreement.

There are many ways to update the system.
Personally I like to create my own alias commands.

Well, the system looked somewhat strange and I had problems to find a solution. So I started antiX from USB-stick, saved my /home, reinstalled antiX, and restored /home. Now it seems to work like it should, also apt and apt-get work. In the end it was the fastest way. Thank you for your help.
