package locales 2.23-0ubuntu9 failed to install/upgrade: package locales is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status 'half-installed')

[Kendra Oldengarm]

This error report came up. I've been sing Ubuntu 16.04 since March 2017, so I'm still very new at it. I believe I had the above problems related to installing librc6 packages, and upgraded using terminal. It seems that my Ubuntu continues to have problems upgrading automatically, and also upgrading using gui. This is possibly a security vulnerability, from what I understand.
