Error sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory when I try to upgrade Debian

Question

Error when i try to upgrade Debian based distro

After this operation, 347 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory
sh: 0: getcwd() failed: No such file or directory

if I cancel the process with ctrl+c I have the following message:

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -lt 10 received signal 2.
E: Failure running script /usr/bin/apt-listchanges --apt || test $? -lt 10

Solution

The error code is obvious: someone removed your current working directory (the directory from which you started the command).

I recommend to type cd to go to your home directory and retry the command.

If someone removed your home directory, chdir to / or /tmp/.
