Edit: Fixed with Curglaff’s solution below. Moved to top of my post if anybody is having the same problem.
dpkg --configure -a
is how I fixed it
followed by
sudo apt --fix-broken install
see this link: apt - dpkg: error processing package libglib2.0-0:i386 - Ask Ubuntu
“Package libc6:i386 is not configured yet.” is the hint I think
Original problem below
I’ve been having trouble updating Pop OS lately. I had recently switched to KDE, so I thought that might have something to do with it, but after a full nuke and pave I’m still having trouble in Cinnamon. I’m running a System76 Gazelle i7-10750H GTX 1660 Ti
sudo apt update is giving me these errors:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 2775 (apt-get)
N: Be aware that removing the lock file is not a solution and may break your system.
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
sudo apt upgrade is throwing up the following message.
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gir1.2-mutter-10 : Depends: libmutter-10-0 (= 42.2-0ubuntu1pop1~1656366415~22.04~8e50951) but 42.3-1ubuntu1pop1~1658401497~22.04~928bf97 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try ‘apt --fix-broken install’ with no packages (or specify a solution).
I’ve tried sudo apt --fix-broken install and it fails due to too many error. Seems to be a problem with this library: libglib2.0-0:i386
Some other highlights from failed fix include:
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree… Done
Reading state information… Done
Correcting dependencies… Done
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
app-install-data
Use ‘sudo apt autoremove’ to remove it.
The following additional packages will be installed:
gir1.2-mutter-10
The following packages will be upgraded:
gir1.2-mutter-10

dpkg: dependency problems prevent processing triggers for libglib2.0-0:i386:
libglib2.0-0:i386 depends on libc6 (>= 2.34); however:
Package libc6:i386 is not configured yet.
I tried running ps aux | grep -i apt to see if anything else was running and got:
