Hello
I have kali 2016.2 and when trying to perfom a full upgrade I get the following error
glenn@kali:~/home# sudo apt full-upgrade -y
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree

You might want to run ‘apt --fix-broken install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libgcc-s1 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.35) but it is not installed
libidn2-0 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14) but it is not installed
libunistring5 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34) but it is not installed
If I run fix-broken install, this is the result
glenn@kali:~/home# apt --fix-broken install

Preparing to unpack …/libc6_2.41-6_amd64.deb …
The current installation does not have a merged-/usr layout.
This is unsupported and unpacking libc6 would break the system.
Refusing to unpack. Please install the usrmerge package and try again.
