[Resolved] Impossible to upgrade packages

Do you overclock? In my experience, too high an overclock can be one of many causes for a Segmentation Fault

(I don't know anything about this but): when I searched the error on Google I saw three different causes.  One was it tried to update a package (sudo) in the wrong order.  Second was something about clearing available memory or rebooting because of RAM.  Third was a dpkg file for the package (galeon) needed a small edit.

I suggest marking all of them, then uncheck 20.  If that doesn't work try again and uncheck the other 20.  I'm expecting if you keep cutting them down in half, the error package shall correctly install when there isn't a bunch of other ones at the same time.

I think I've had this happen to me before maybe a few months ago.

La solution ultime / the ultimate solution
(celle par laquelle je suis passé)
plusieurs étapes :
i/ faire une sauvegarde de la liste des paquets / Save the package list

# mkdir /root/SAUVEGARDE
# dpkg --get-selections > /root/SAUVEGARDE/liste_paquets

et de tous les fichiers de conf, au cas où ca se passe mal ... / And of conf files in case something is going wrong...

# cp -R /var/log /var/cache/{debconf,apt/archives} /var/lib/dpkg/{info,parts,alternatives,methods,updates} /root/SAUVEGARDE

(là on a sauvé la liste des paquets que l'on avait d'installé sur le systeme) / At this point we saved the list of the packages we have installed on the system

ii/ on vire ces fichiers / dossiers. / Remove the files / directories

# rm -rf /var/log /var/cache/{debconf,apt/archives} /var/lib/dpkg/{info,parts,alternatives,methods,updates}

iii/surtout on ne s'arrete pas ici : en ce moment, le systeme pense qu'il n'y a rien d'installé....ce qui n'est pas terrible...
donc on recrée les fameux dossiers, vides :
Important to not stop here as at this time the system thinks that nothing is installed... this is not very good...
So we create back the empty directories

# mkdir /var/log /var/cache/{debconf,apt/archives} /var/lib/dpkg/{info,parts,alternatives,methods,updates}

il faut ensuite recréer le fichier status de base.
on édite /var/lib/dpkg/status et on y entre juste une entrée très simplifiée de la libc6

Then you have to create the basic status file
Edit /var/lib/dpkg/status and make just one entry very simple of the libc6

Package: libc6
Status: install ok installed
Version: 2.3.1-9

ensuite on remet apt-get a jour et on fait un dist-upgrade. Ca va lamentablement merder a la fin, mais c'est juste pour télécharger les paquets de base nécessaires sur la machine.

Then update apt-get and make a dist-upgrade. It will fail at the end but the aim is just to download the necessary basics packages on the computer

# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade

On réinstalle les paquets de base histoire uniquement de les remettre dans la base d'apt :

Re-install the basic packages just to put them back in the data base of apt

# dpkg --clear-avail
# apt-get update
# apt-get dist-upgrade
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives
# dpkg -i libncurses*
# dpkg -i perl-base*
# dpkg -i libstdc++*
# dpkg -i dselect*
# dpkg -i dpkg*

et on re-enregistre libc6 dans la base : / and re-record libc6 in the base

# apt-get install --reinstall libc6

et on se refait un coup des paquets de base de la distrib : / And one time more the basic packages of the distribution

# apt-get dist-upgrade

iv/ Il ne reste plus qu'a tout "reinstaller" (en réalité, ca sert surtout a tout re-rentrer dans la base de configuration de dpkg) grâce à la sauvegarde de la liste de paquets précédente...

Then there is just to "re-install" everything thanks to the precedent save of the packages list (in reality it is just useful to re-enter everything in the config data base of dpkg)

# apt-get --set-selections < /root/SAUVEGARDE/liste_paquets

J'ai du ensuite broder un peu pour la derniere étape, downgrader certains paquets pour les reinstaller plus tard, ou autre, mais avec certaines indications dans la konsole, ca devrait etre explicite.
en tout cas, à reserver à la "derniere chance"

Then I had to make some adjustments during the last step, downgrade some packages to re-install them later or other, but with some indications in the terminal it should be explicit.
Anyway this is to do as a last chance try

Bon courage si qqn a besoin de ca un jour....
Good luck if anybody need this one day...
