This happens when trying to update things in apt in PopOS. Tell me if more info is needed. I hope I posted to the right community.>>>

    OK, this is concerning. Try downloading the installer and installing it manually:

    sudo apt download initramfs-tools
    sudo dpkg -i initramfs-tools.whatever.is.the.actual.name.deb

        OK, so that did not trigger the reinstallation of the missing file. Try reinstalling libklibc:

        sudo apt-get install --reinstall libklibc

          Tried that already. The installation tries to run but the problem blocks it from running.

            Try downloading the deb and installing it manually using dpkg -i. Maybe that will allow it to skip this dependency.
