Install GDBM when apt is not working












0















I am trying to update my 16.04 to the latest 18.10. But this caused a relocation error with the package libapt-pkg.so. This naturally makes my apt useless. To overcome that I am following the advice given here to force install the package. However when I run dpkg -i it says that GDBM is not found. Naturally I cannot install GDBM because my apt is not working. How to overcome this.
