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, 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.
