Julian, I get something similar, but different. "# apt apt: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt-private.so.0.0: symbol _ZN9pkgSystem9LockInnerEv, version APTPKG_5.0 not defined in file libapt-pkg.so.5.0 with link time reference"
apt-cache policy is the same, and so is apt libapt-pkg5.0. What can I do to rectify this? I started asking on reddit, got redirected to askubuntu, and someone pointed me to this page, I was the one who confirmed it, as I experienced the same or similar issues. I am contemplating reinstalling as using the same install media in a VM (mini.iso) resulted in a working state, and apt functions as expected, so I doubt the .deb files are the issue here, more likely the state of apt on my box. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644643 Title: apt failed to run due to link time reference error Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After update apt and its related library to 1.2.15 from 1.2.10ubuntu1, I get following message when I try to invoke apt: apt-get: relocation error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libapt- private.so.0.0: symbol _ZlsRSoRKN3APT9PrettyPkgE, version APTPKG_5.0 not defined in file libapt-pkg.so.5.0 with link time reference 1.2.10 do not have this problem.
