atualizar e atualizar o Ubuntu 11.10 [duplicado]

Question

Eu tenho o Dell latitude E6430, informações do sistema: Ubuntu 11.10, tipo OS 64 bits. Quando eu tentei fazer atualizações para o meu Ubuntu 11.10, ele me deu uma mensagem, que você não pode atualizar nada até que você remova os repositórios de terceiros, mas você pode fazer a atualização. mensagem 1:

your Ubuntu release is not supported anymore. 
you will not get any further security fixes or critical updates. please upgrade to a later version of Ubuntu Linux.

mensagem 2:

not all updates can be installed. run  a partial upgrade, to install as many updates as possible. 
this can be caused by :
a previous upgrade which didn't complete.
problems with some of the installed software.
unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu.
normal changes of a pre-release version of Ubuntu.
I clicked on partial upgrade and it prepares upgrade for three hours then start to upgrade , then it didn't finish and stops then these message appear. 
message 3: software index is broken .
it is impossible to install or remove any software. please use the package manager "synaptic" or run " sudo apt-get install-f " in a terminal to fix this issue at first. 
When writing the command sudo apt-get install -f , the following appear

Answer 1

O problema é que seu índice de software está quebrado. Algum pacote ou outro está sendo problemático. Se você usa apt-get , é provável que não funcione. Tente isto:

1. Digite sudo dpkg --configure -a . Irá cometer erros, mas não se preocupe.
2. Encontre os arquivos que estão causando os problemas e digite sudo dpkg -r PACKAGE_NAME para cada um deles. Alguns deles não serão removidos. Adicione-os a uma lista.
3. Execute sudo dpkg --configure PACKAGE_NAME para cada pacote da sua lista. Isso irá configurá-los. Desta vez, você não deve ver erros.
4. Execute sudo apt-get install -f para corrigir dependências.
5. Lucro!

Além disso, você pode querer executar sudo apt-get autoremove para remover pacotes desnecessários. Boa sorte!

Atualização: Para corrigir o problema com ldconfig , tente isto:

1. aptitude download libc-bin
2. dpkg-deb -x libc-bin* libc_unpacked
3. cp libc_unpacked/sbin/ldconfig* /sbin/
