Every atp command returns an avalanche of errors, I freed up some space but the package management stuff seems gone and I can’t seem to fix it. Should I fresh install?

    There are warnings so my bet is that there is an edge case where

    • one runs apt and receives NO warning
    • the system keeps on doing other tasks, e.g. user copies a large file on the same filesystem or log files just increasing
    • user runs apt upgrade BUT now apt would warn except it’s not run again

    so basically concurrency that makes it unpredictable, except if apt was the only process writing on the filesystem (which it never is).
