Sample Core Dump: Here is a sample core dump from the segfaults. Core was generated by awk -v b=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 /^Alternative:/ && $2~b {p=1} /^Pri'. It seems to be caused by an issue with Awk.
Will I need to reinstall the system completely afresh from a disc? I can use the system, I just can't upgrade any software or remove it. Thanks for any help! (Also, I will use a pastebin if needed for more output.)
Here is the result of running apt upgrade with Valgrind.
sudo apt autoremove. Did you runsudo apt updatebefore running other commands inapt? You need to do this so that your package manager is working with an updated list of available software. I don't usually see issues this bad unless there are already severe problems with your package management system, or long-neglected system maintenance. When's the last time you updated successfully?
