Not sure how you searched but I assume you didn’t use or know apt? How do you install packages in the first place? Through GUI or Terminal?
EDIT: I assume you use the Linux Mint GUI package manager. I can’t find how to do this too, would need to search more detailed but I don’t have enough time for this now, need sleep, don’t have enough sleep.
I know about and have used apt, I install pretty much everything through the terminal. What I searched for was “how to reinstall libpcre” because I thought that it required a specific method or something due to the fact that it’s a system library.
Anyways, it reinstalled it but I wont know if it fixed the issue until tonight.
I’d reinstall libpcre, looks like it’s gotten broken?
The kernel panic should be a direct result of shutdown (which I guess at this point is init/pid1) not finding its dependency and killing itself.
How would I reinstall it? I tried to look it up but I couldn’t find anything.
apt install --reinstall PKG_NAMEIs the command to reinstall a package, replace PKG_NAME with the name of the package you want to reinstall.
You should use apt instead of apt-get. It is newer, more user friendly and supposedly handles dependency resolution better.
I’ve already done that but thanks anyways.
This command (could have) saved me lots of times, had I known it earlier. So far it has saved me once.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall

Sometimes we think a little bit too complicated
