cannot update anything on Mint 17.3


For several weeks I have not been able to update anything. I have checked for similar threads, and I found a similar problem solved by crazypenguin. I tried all those suggestions and decided to update to Mint 18. But I cannot install the upgrade tool and cannot download the package upgrades. Is my only option to perform a fresh install of 17.3 and then update as suggested on page 4 of the "How to upgrade to Linux Mint 18?" I am a novice and didn't want to bother anyone. I would appreciate your suggestions.

Hi FLpenguin, and welcome to LQ.

Are you able to access the internet on the computer (browse etc.?).

Yes, I can access the internet, usually use Firefox browser. I seem to be able to do everything but update. I can see the update notification. After the update doesn't run I get the message "E: linux image-extra-4.4.0-130-generic:subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1.

Ok. Can you please paste the output of the following commands here (between CODE tags - see the # on LQ's advanced editor):

Code:
dpkg -l | grep -v "^ii"
Also:

Code:
dpkg -l "linux-*" | grep "^ii"
The former will list any packages that aren't properly installed. The latter will, among others, show your kernel packages.

In that case, can you edit your post, click on "Go Advanced" at the bottom, select the text you want to go between CODE tags, and then click on the # symbol in the edit menu. Then save your post. Thanks.

If you are unable to do that, at least edit your post and remove all the equals signs so that we can go back to a normal-width thread. Thanks.

If you're having problems with my instructions, don't worry, just let me know and I'll walk you through them.

I am having problems doing what you suggested. I do not use the advanced editor and do not know how to select the equal signs, delete and place between the tags

Ok. No problem. On your post above (the one with all the output), click on the Edit button on the right-hand side at the bottom.

In the edit window that appears, use your mouse/trackpad to highlight all the equals signs. Then hit the Delete key to delete them.

Then click on the Save button in the right-hand side at the bottom of that window.

Try running the following command in a terminal to fix stuff first:
Code:
sudo apt-get -f install
Then, if things are okay, run the following to update stuff in your 17 system:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Then, hopefully your Update Manager will be working to allow you to upgrade to Mint 18.

I ran Mark Alfred's suggested commands. The first generated many compilation errors and "cannot open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission
denied)" then a second message "unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg)"

For anyone else coming in and helping the OP, they need to purge those incorrectly installed packages listed above.

For each package, try first apt purge package_name, then sudo dpkg --purge package_name, then finally sudo dpkg --purge --force-all package_name.

That with an update, should hopefully get the package manager working again.

Then they will have to reinstall cups, cups-bsd, cups-core-drivers, cups-daemon, and mime-support as all these are required by Mint.

Then another update, and finally an upgrade to 18, then on to 18.3.

I seem to be having communication problems with the OP, not helped by someone else jumping in with something that stood little chance of working, so will opt out at this point.

I would advise the OP only to carry out the above procedures with the help of someone on here.

Regarding the "code" tags, I never use the advanced editor. I just manually enter them. I type the following: [c0de]coded stuff[/c0de] <-- notice though that here I used a zero rather than a letter "oh", so that what I typed would appear here.

Anyway, here's your stuff from the fifth post within code tags:
