1. How to resolve �dpkg: error processing package systemd�
   

   After upgrade from Ubuntu 16 to Ubuntu 18
   When I want to use this command:I see this output:

   Code:

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

   And

   Code:

    dpkg --configure -a

   Output is:

   Code:

   Errors were encountered while processing:
    python3-numpy
    libc-bin
    systemd
    python3-gdbm:amd64
    python3-cairo:amd64
    python3-tk:amd64
    python3-matplotlib
    dh-python
    libglib2.0-bin
    locales
    libpam-systemd:amd64

   Code:

    python
   Python 2.7.12 (default, Dec  4 2017, 14:50:18)

   And

   Code:

   python3
   Python 3.6.5 (default, Apr  1 2018, 05:46:30)

   And install any package for example: apt install systemd Output is:

   Code:

    python3-cairo : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6~) but 3.5.1-3 is to be installed
    python3-gdbm : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6.4-1~) but 3.5.1-3 is to be installed
    python3-matplotlib : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6~) but 3.5.1-3 is to be installed
    python3-numpy : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6~) but 3.5.1-3 is to be installed
    python3-tk : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6.4-1~) but 3.5.1-3 is to be installed

   Any suggestions?

   python3-cairo : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6~) but 3.5.1-3 is to be installed

   Somehow your system is not up-to-date, package listings wise.
   How did you update from 16.04 to 18.04?

   What does

   output?

3. Re: How to resolve �dpkg: error processing package systemd�
   

   my way was:
   sudo apt update
   sudo apt upgrade
   sudo apt dist-upgrade
   sudo apt install update-manager-core
   sudo do-release-upgrade
   sudo do-release-upgrade -d

   And:

4. Re: How to resolve �dpkg: error processing package systemd�
   

   1982 packages can be upgraded. Run ‘apt list —upgradable’ to see them.

   Then there is your answer.
   For some reason or another the upgrade must not have ran as it should have.

   No reason for that to result in any more than a couple dozen to couple hundred new updates at most.
   But 1900+ means it wasn’t a proper upgrade or something wrong happened during the upgrade.

   So what does

   Code:

   sudo apt full-upgrade

   do/show?
   (This would be more for a curiosity stand point, and feel free to select n to abort.
   I’m more interested in seeing what the output of install.upgrade/remove will be)

   this command output is:

   Code:

   root@win:~# sudo apt full-upgrade

   You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
   The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    dh-python : Depends: python3-distutils but it is not installed
    indicator-session : Depends: systemd-services but it is not installable
    libc-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.24) but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is installed
    libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (< 2.24) but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is installed
    libc6-dbg : Depends: libc6 (= 2.23-0ubuntu10) but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is installed
    libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.23-0ubuntu10) but 2.27-3ubuntu1 is installed
    libglib2.0-bin : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.56.1-2ubuntu1) but 2.48.2-0ubuntu1 is installed
    libglib2.0-dev : Depends: libglib2.0-bin (= 2.48.2-0ubuntu1) but 2.56.1-2ubuntu1 is installed
    locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu10 is installed
    python3 : PreDepends: python3-minimal (= 3.5.1-3) but 3.6.5-3 is installed
              Depends: libpython3-stdlib (= 3.5.1-3) but 3.6.5-3 is installed
    python3-cairo : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6~) but 3.5.1-3 is installed
    python3-gdbm : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6.4-1~) but 3.5.1-3 is installed
    python3-matplotlib : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6~) but 3.5.1-3 is installed
    python3-numpy : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6~) but 3.5.1-3 is installed
    python3-tk : Depends: python3 (>= 3.6.4-1~) but 3.5.1-3 is installed
    udev : Depends: libudev1 (= 229-4ubuntu21.2) but 237-3ubuntu8 is installed
   E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

   and additional results are in my first post

7. Re: How to resolve �dpkg: error processing package systemd�
   

   Well let’s see how far along the upgrade actually got
   what do

   Code:

   uname -r
   lsb_release -a

   show.

   Also release upgrade have logs in /var/log/dist-upgrade.
   Look at what main.log shows at the end.

   Code:

   tail -n 100 /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log

   you might also check what the ends of the apt.log, history.log, and term.log files show.
   You can use the same tail command and simply change out the file name.

   This isn’t by chance related to Windows Subsystem for Linux?
   Seems the systemd error is common for that.

10. Re: How to resolve �dpkg: error processing package systemd�
    

    yes, this is WSL
    How can I resolve that?
