package libc-bin 2.28-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned

[Pierre Equoy]

Got this error when trying to update using the software update dialog.

I tried to update manually uing `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` and it worked fine. However, even after the upgrade completed, the "update-notifier" software kept popping up with an error.
