Dpkg: error processing package libc6:amd64

Hi !

I have a strange error. I’ve updated easyengine and now when I try to update the server, or even create a new site, I have this error :

root@ubuntu-512mb-fra1-01:~# tail /var/log/ee/ee.log Fetched 4,399 kB in 1s (3,695 kB/s) Setting up libc6:amd64 (2.19-0ubuntu6.9) ... sh: echo: I/O error dpkg: error processing package libc6:amd64 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: libc6:amd64 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) 2016-06-27 10:40:50,777 (INFO) ee : Oops Something went wrong!! 2016-06-27 10:40:50,779 (ERROR) ee : Check logs for reasontail /var/log/ee/ee.log& Try Again!!!

I don’t know if it’s EE related but I can’t figure out what the problem is. Before doing the update, everything worked fine.

This is the result of apt-get update -f :

sudo apt-get install -f

If anyone has an idea …

Thanks !

@Mat_ This is not an EasyEngine issue. As stated in the error log, it rather seems to be a dpkg error caused by some I/O failure. You should do a hard disk check and look for probable cause of HDD failure. if everything comes clean, you can try to re-run sudo dpkg --configure libc6:amd64 and then sudo apt-get -f.

That should fix the issue. Thank you.

Hi @ssalil ! Thanks a lot. I tried many commands, but didn’t knew the one you gave. That worked like a charm.
