You have an issue with your system that is unrelated to Pi-hole, probably triggered by updating the package cache or installing packages.

mentioneddiagonal · May 19, 2019, 10:32pm

Any ideas what next steps I can take?

Mcat12 · May 19, 2019, 10:48pm

Google the issue, see if other people have had it and already found the solution. It looks like it has something to do with perl and debconf.

Try reinstall them all:

This is what I get now:

sudo apt install --reinstall perl-modules-5.24 liburi-template-perl debconf libhttp-message-perl

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

deHakkelaar · May 19, 2019, 11:17pm

libc6-dev is giving you troubles.

Whats policy ?

apt policy libc6-dev

And what if not installed, you try install it:

sudo apt install libc6-dev

mentioneddiagonal · May 19, 2019, 11:23pm

Policy:

libc6-dev:
  Installed: (none)

  Version table:

Install gives:

 libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.24-11+deb9u4) but 2.24-11+deb9u3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

deHakkelaar · May 19, 2019, 11:24pm

sudo apt install libc6-dev=2.24-11+deb9u4

sudo apt install --reinstall perl-modules-5.24 liburi-template-perl debconf libhttp-message-perl

mentioneddiagonal · May 19, 2019, 11:26pm

Tried that one already, unfortunately it gives the same exact error message as when I ran sudo apt install libc6-dev

deHakkelaar · May 19, 2019, 11:27pm

What message ?

Oops my mistake.

Chicken egg.
Something amiss with your distro.
Post some more and maybe someone else knows:

lsb_release -a

sudo grep -v '^#\|^$' -R /etc/apt/sources.list*

Thanks for checking, appreciate the time.

I know is of little help but I've just now run a:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo reboot

Run a pihole -up and rebooted to be sure.
Everyting came up and is running dandy on my Pi-1B:

Ps. you might want to try below one again as I noticed I made a typo before:

sudo apt install libc6=2.24-11+deb9u4

mentioneddiagonal · May 20, 2019, 12:04am

I have a secondary pi-hole setup on Ubuntu as a VM. Thinking about wiping this and re-installing it from scratch. Will have to check if I'm able to do a proper backup and restore of pihole settings first if I can't fix this.

Edit. I ran the above command and noticed your spelling error, so I corrected it and ran it.
