Sorry, I misstyped the last command, I corrected the post. It should be:
Code:df -h /boot

sudo updatedb
locate Question.pm
Ok. Your system doesn't use a separate /boot partition, and there's enough space. So must be something else.
Let's try to find if the perl files reported in the error message are there:
If that returns empty, try with:Code:ls -lh /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm
Code:updatedb locate Question.pm
Yes, pleaseShould I do the second one?
Yes, please
This is third command:Yes, please
sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall debconf
According to the ls output the file is missing. I think this could bring back the missing files:
Code:sudo apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confmiss" install --reinstall debconf
I suspect a filesystem or hard disk error could be involved.
If you don't mind, check if the file is in place:
And also try another time these commands, providing its output:Code:ls -lh /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/Question.pm
Code:sudo apt clean sudo apt update
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debconf/debconf_1.5.58ubuntu1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i debconf_1.5.58ubuntu1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
tualatrix ppa seems to still be there, can you remove its entries (if any still left) by the instructions in previous posts?
Also, download debconf and try to install it:
Code:wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/debconf/debconf_1.5.58ubuntu1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i debconf_1.5.58ubuntu1_all.deb sudo apt-get install -f
@Christina, I won't be able to get back to you until tomorrow.
@atanere, I think it would be useful to check the Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. status, and this link is also worth checking.
Okay, thanks @nuna! I've got to work day shifts tomorrow (12-hr shifts) so maybe we can play tag-team to try to get this resolved. I've got some days off at the end of the week which will give me more time.
Hi again Christina! If you removed those two references to "tualatrix" in "Software & Updates"... then let's just reboot and see where we're at. After a reboot, run the "sudo apt-get update" command again, and that should make sure the "tualatrix" references are gone. And if not, let's get rid of them.
Sorry, have a sick hubby and will have to finish dealing with this tomorrow.....
OK, hope he feels better soon! We'll sure do our best to get this resolved for you. And when you get a chance, maybe describe also why you can't boot on a flash drive or access the BIOS. If hardware really is failing, we may not can do much. But we'll find out when you have more time.
Cheers
Hi Christina. I'm at work, so I will be hit or miss today. Let's see if the error still shows up, so we will kind of start over... see what "sudo apt-get upgrade" does now.
