Bug Description
After upgrade to this version I'm unable to login into system. Right after update
- I can't do anything with sudo. System immediately says that password is incorrect
$ sudo .
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
- GUI apps which require admin rights (synaptic) also stopped working
- After reboot SDDM can't reach login screen
- if you try recovery mode with root parameter system complains
/sbin/sulogin: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So after this update file
/usr/lib/
got deleted.
On Kubuntu 20.04, which was last upgraded yesterday, upgrade stopped with some error about unfinished configuration of libcrypt1. On Ubuntu 20.04 (GNOME) which was last upgraded at Feb 16, upgrade went well but system also got broken.
I can confirm I just ran the update as well and am facing the exact same problems now. System is unusable. Is it possible to copy in the necessary file from live USB? I need my system back up.
