I was running sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade -y and midway through the installation my computer ran out of battery and shut down abruptly. Side note - I'm using the Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10.

Now when I run sudo apt upgrade I'm getting errors that I can't figure out how to work around. Here's what I get:

~$ sudo apt upgrade -y

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

libpam-systemd : Depends: systemd (= 229-4ubuntu21.6) but 229-4ubuntu21.4 is installed

systemd : Depends: libsystemd0 (= 229-4ubuntu21.4) but 229-4ubuntu21.6 is installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

So I try that and here's what I get:

~$ sudo apt upgrade -y -f

How do I fix this and get my package manager back to a healthy state?

It seems that the file /var/cache/apt/archives/systemd_229-4ubuntu21.8_amd64.deb is corrupted.

While trying to install systemd, The package manager assumes that there is already a cached deb file, so just delete it and run sudo apt-get -f install again.

On my normal Ubuntu 18.10 that file you have missing does appear however its just a symlink as per :

ls -la /lib/systemd/system/checkroot-bootclean.service 

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Nov  9 03:15 /lib/systemd/system/checkroot-bootclean.service -> /dev/null

so to give yourself such a file issue

sudo ln -s /dev/null /lib/systemd/system/checkroot-bootclean.service 

then reissue your

sudo apt-get -f install

This is just a hunch however that missing symlink may be part of a larger issue ... dunno until you try

Just to give some context here is my entire /lib/systemd/system/

scott@berghia /lib/systemd/system $ ls -la /lib/systemd/system/

of course content of your above dir may differ however this might help you get into the ballpark ... obviously mucking about with systemd is performing a head-to-body transplant so YMMV

I would try to first clean with

sudo apt-get clean

then try

sudo dpkg --configure -a

or/and

sudo apt upgrade --fix-missing
