Wie ich den Ubuntu APT-Upgrade-Fehler behoben habe: The base-files package cannot be installed because /lib32 is a dangling symbolic link.

Problem

Auf einer meiner Ubuntu-VMs, beim Upgrade von Ubuntu 24.04 auf 26.04, trat während des Upgrades der folgende Fehler auf:

apt-upgrade-error.txt

******************************************************************************
*
* The base-files package cannot be installed because
* /lib32 is a dangling symbolic link.
*
* This is an unexpected situation. Cannot proceed with the upgrade.
*
* For more information please read https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge.

Das Upgrade verlief danach nicht ordnungsgemäß weiter

Lösung

Dies war einfach zu beheben mit

remove-lib32-symlink.sh

sudo rm /lib32

sudo rm /lib32

was den /lib32-Symlink entfernt. Fahren Sie dann mit dem Upgrade fort:

apt-dist-upgrade.sh

sudo apt dist-upgrade -y

sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
