[Bug 2012102] Re: package tar 1.30+dfsg-7ubuntu0.20.04.2 failed to install/upgrade: package tar is already installed and configured

[Julian Andres Klode]

Hello,

Thanks for your bug report

The Dpkg error is

dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
 loading files list file for package 'kpartx-boot': cannot read /var/lib/dpkg/info/kpartx-boot.list (Input/output error)

and the kernel says

[14043.928764] blk_update_request: critical medium error, dev nvme0n1, sector 47260520 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0
[14044.030575] blk_update_request: critical medium error, dev nvme0n1, sector 47260520 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x0 phys_seg 1 prio class 0


This tells me that this is not a software bug, but your SSD is starting to fail. Consider backing up your data and purchase a replacement.
