From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

my 23.10 now boots to single user mode (the tty1 log in page), After logging in with username and password (not as root, but regular me) I get this message:

/etc/update-motd.d/95 updates available 7: /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-updates-outdated: not found

run-parts: /etc/update-motd.d/95 updates available exited with return code 127

what's the best way to proceed now?

it seems there is no -a option for dpkg-reconfigure:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a returns unknown option -a

if I delete -a it asks for a package to reconfigure

Maybe try command listed here

after trying suggested command

sudo dpkg --configure -a

I get:

error processing package install-info (--configure): installed install-info package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127, errors were encountered while processing install-info

hmm...... I would skip dpkg command in this case.
