---------------
livecd-rootfs (2.655) focal; urgency=medium

  * minimized: reinstall packages one by one, instead of all of them
    together, as otherwise apt fails to immediately configure libc6:amd64
    & libgcc-s1. LP: #1867607

Bug description:
  Chroot chroot dpkg-query -f '${binary:Package}\n' -W | Chroot chroot

  Fails in focal with:

  
  Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.31-0ubuntu6) ...
  E: Could not configure 'libc6:amd64'. 
  E: Could not perform immediate configuration on 'libgcc-s1:amd64'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)

  doing `xargs -L1` makes it complete. I am not sure if there is
  somekind of an apt bug there. Imho reinstalling all the packages
  should just work fine....
