Relocation error involving libgnutls.so.30, error code (127) after last updates
7,565
Solution 1
As per Launchpad bug 1843507, comment #4 worked for me, at least temporarily.
$ wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libi/libidn2/libidn2-0_2.0.4-1.1build2_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libidn2-0_2.0.4-1.1build2_amd64.deb
$ sudo apt-mark hold libidn2-0
Update: From the bug report, this appears to only affect those using PHP from launchpad.net/~ondrej
Update: Ondřej has released an update for his PHP build already. You can downgrade libidn2-0 so that apt will work again:
$ wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libi/libidn2/libidn2-0_2.0.4-1.1build2_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i libidn2-0_2.0.4-1.1build2_amd64.deb
Then:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade
And you should be good to go.
Solution 2
Download this libidn2-0_2.0.5-1_amd64.deb package from the Debian repository to the machine, then run sudo dpkg -i /path/to/.deb to install it in place of the faulty Ubuntu package.
Solution 3
I experienced the same issue on my machine. I was able to connect to the internet via ethernet cable, and pull down the package that @Mason Pawsey mentioned in their answer.
I wasn't familiar with how to do that, so I found some help from this post by @chili555.
I was able to downgrade the package, and boot up like normal. However, there was still an entry in my /etc/network/interfaces file for eth0, and this would stop me from connecting via wifi. So I went into the file, and commented out everything under auto eth0 (in case i needed it later).
After i removed the entry, and restarted my computer, everything was good to go.
I hope this helps whoever comes to this page in the future.

guiverc over 4 yearsAfter last update? Ubuntu 18.10 reached EOL back 18-July-2019 (fridge.ubuntu.com/2019/07/19/…) and is thus off-topic here unless your question is specific to moving to a supported release of Ubuntu. Your paste however refers to bionic? or 18.04 (18.10 is cosmic) so something is wrong, but 18.10 is off-topic here now due EOL. -
Polosson over 4 years@guiverc I'm experiencing the same issue with Ubuntu 18.04 which is LTS, so this problem does not seem to be exclusive to ubuntu 18.10. However the temporary workaround described in Aaron answer fixed the issue. -
Mihai over 4 yearsYeah,latest apt-upgrade downloaded some libidin crap which nuked my boot.Thanks for the question and the answers.

fracz over 4 yearsHave done this and
startxworked once. Then, after restart, I cannot event get to the terminal. Sic. Time to say hello to Windows again. Such failures are unacceptable. -
besrabasant over 4 yearsAnyone finding issues on Ubuntu 18.04 should install this package. This works.
-
Koen Hendriks over 4 yearsThis fixed it for me. Why is downgrading this package a fix?
-
Aaron over 4 years@fracz Check comment 12 on the bug report. Might be of use to you.

alebal over 4 yearsI did this and now it seems to work, but I don't have to restart the server? From what I understand is temporary, if I restart, network manager does not start and I remain completely excluded from my server, can you confirm? So what should I do now? Do I have to update in the coming days or not? How will I understand when the problem is solved and will I be able to update and restart the server?

anonymoose over 4 years@KoenHendriks If you didn't see already, it looks like something went wrong with one of the packages (mentioned above); some context here for the curious: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libidn2/+bug/… -
Aaron over 4 years@alebal Ondřej Surý has released an update to his PPA. You should be able to upgrade right now. You might have to sudo apt-mark unhold libidn2-0

FreeSoftwareServers over 4 years@fracz You don't keep backup snapshots of your main OS? :( Linux OS is like 10gb. Make backups!
-
gronostaj over 4 years@FreeSoftwareServers Backups are great, but downtime is downtime.
-
FreeSoftwareServers over 4 years@gronostaj And windows never fails? Downtime is unavoidable really. At least with Linux you can disable updates if stability is priority.
-
gronostaj over 4 years@FreeSoftwareServers I didn't say anything about Windows. I've only pointed out that backups don't solve the problem of broken updates.
-
FreeSoftwareServers over 4 yearsFair enough, I was responding to fracz I guess. Just feeling defensive :P
-
alebal over 4 years@arron Thanks a lot, I followed the updates and made the upgrades, and everything seems to work, but now my server says: *** System restart required ***, but I'm afraid... I can safely restart or I risk not being able to enter the server?
-
alebal over 4 years@arron All seems to work until today, then today, this: <b>Fatal error</b>: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function curl_init(). I think is related to the updates, before work.
-
Slack Undertow over 4 yearsThank you @Aaron, your "updated" solution (dispensing with the "apt-mark hold libidn2-0" statement) worked for me! I understand that just as your update dispensed with "apt-mark hold", Ondřej has indicated that pinning with apt-mark hold is no longer desirable now that the bug has been fixed.

Aura over 4 yearsCan confirm that this solution also worked on Kali Linux 2018.3.
