Every atp command returns an avalanche of errors, I freed up some space but the package management stuff seems gone and I can’t seem to fix it. Should I fresh install?

      Method http died unexpectedly 127 means APT’s HTTP helper (usually curl/wget) was in a bad state when the disk filled. Chroot alone won’t fix it, run dpkg --configure -a first, and if http still fails, reinstall curl/apt-transport-https (manually via dpkg if needed), then apt --fix-broken install.

      You’ll have to download them manually as other people have mentioned, and resolve any missing dependencies during install the same way. Also check your network still works.

        reinstall curl/apt-transport-https (manually via dpkg if needed)

        That’s the trick, local installation via dpkg of the missing package itself (that you got another way) required to let apt get work.

      Hmm, sorry. I’d guess your internet connection doesn’t work any more. So apt can’t fetch the packages. That’s kind of hard to debug, though. You’d somehow need to fix networking before you can proceed. But we don’t really know what broke. And if that’s really the only issue at play.

      Maybe a Live-USB stick and a rescue mode can help here?! Other than that I’m out of options.
