Hi!
Is this still an issue?
We can not rule out that physical data loss might have been the reason for your error. Therefore I change the status to opinion now. Feel free to change to closed or invalid or incomplete.

If you are using a newer Ubuntu in the meantime and you need help, please feel free to ask in the Ubuntu Forums for support. But let us know, if this issue still needs attention or not.

Thanks.
