Last night, I installed a lot of packages and dependencies for a printer that I was having problems getting recognized.and got the printer to work. In hind-sight, I don't think I needed to install as much as I did, but will test that another time. Here is my dilemma - I turned on the computer and can't login. I am not hugely surprised as I figured I would probably muck something up with all of that package installation. When I go to Recovery in Grub, I chose DPKG to check broken dependencies and found that it wants to remove multiarch-support:i386 and install multiarch-support. When I approve for it to go ahead, it says "Could not download the upgrades. The upgrade has aborted." Then it talks about checking the internet connection (which was fine last night) or installation media. "Failed to fetch http'://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ main/g/glibc/multiarch-support_2.23-0ubuntu3.amd64.deb. Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'. I tried to ping 8.8.8.8 and got connect:Network is unreachable.
I would be grateful for any suggestions as I am hoping not to have to do a reinstall after all of those package installations.
