dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure)

After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04, I cannot update my system. After the usual:

apt-get upgrade

I get this error:

Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done

dpkg: error processing package libc-bin (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 139
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libc-bin
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any ideas on how to fix this? apt-get clean and apt-get -f install did nothing.

Here the reason seemed to be a corrupted /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache.

The solution was to do (as root):

rm /var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache

And afterwards execute

/sbin/ldconfig

I used to have the same error here, I did the following command:

 sudo apt-get --reinstall install libc-bin

And it worked, it reinstalled the libc-bin package and solved the issue.

Hope it helps
