From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The first command worked, the second one is still showing up
http have died unexpectedly error 127Method http died unexpectedly 127means 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.
That's the trick, local installation via
dpkgof 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.
