apt broken install/update/remove causes input/output error for linux-image package
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I can't install/update/remove anything because of this error, nor does google return anything specifically for linux-image-4.10.0-42-generic (It does for other things, but I am not sure what to touch as I am not an advanced user)
dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
reading files list for package 'linux-image-4.10.0-42-generic': Input/output error
I just tried to apt-get remove apt (then I was going to follow answer https://askubuntu.com/a/626523/397432) but the result is the same error.
How do I fix this?
I am trying to avoid reinstalling the system and everything on it
I'm using Ubuntu MATE 16.04
