Problem to install or remove any software"lvm2-lvmetad.service"

I've resolved this problem with:

sudo apt-get purge lvm2
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install lvm2

reboot the system, and new kernel should be installed. Furthermore, this discussion helped me.

If systemctl status lvm2-lvmetad returns Loaded: masked (/dev/null) you should unmask and enable it with

sudo systemctl unmask  lvm2-lvmetad && sudo systemctl enable lvm2-lvmetad

The command systemctl status lvm2-lvmetad.socket should return status confirming success.

If this approach doesn't work for you, you may have better luck with the purge/reinstall approach described here I would recommend having a good backup though.
