Alright, I did find a file /home/phablet/.cache/libertine/puritine/PuritineSymlinkFarm.json and I deleted it. I don't know why I couldn't see it with find.
Yes I know I have to replace CONTAINER-IDENTIFIER with the identifier of my container, i.e. xenial.
~root refers to /root.
I have found the following text files which I deleted:
/.local/share/unity-scopes/unconfined/libertine-scope.ubuntu_libertine-scope/.surfacing_cache
/.local/share/unity-scopes/unconfined/clickscope/.surfacing_cacheBut still no change, even after reboot. It seems that the container is very much contained and unbreakable! But don't worry, I am going to reinstall UT anyway.
Thank you to all for your help.

@ubuntoutou Good luck

I faced with the same error:$ libertine-container-manager destroy -i xenial Libertine.py:124: ERROR: _delete_rootfs(): [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'dev'
I logged in on phone via ssh and execute following commands:
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ll ~/.cache/libertine-container/xenial/rootfs/ total 36 drwxr-xr-x 9 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 28 05:57 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 04:57 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 28 05:15 (??/ drwx--x--x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 28 05:15 able/ d--------- 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 08:06 dev/ drwxr-xr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 28 05:15 ?kŅ¶/ drwxr-xr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 28 05:15 ?pā¾+,??G??D?Ó¶/ drwxr-xr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 28 05:15 R??/ drwxr-xr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 28 05:15 S??????????????/ phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ rm -rf ~/.cache/libertine-container/xenial/rootfs/ phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ libertine-container-manager destroy -i xenial phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$
There is no error after destroying container,
but, surprisingly, user-directory still existed.
So, I deleted it also:phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ll ~/.local/share/libertine-container/user-data/xenial/ total 84 drwxrwxr-x 17 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 27 14:40 ./ drwxrwxr-x 3 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 06:35 ../ -rw------- 1 phablet phablet 984 Feb 28 05:16 .bash_history drwxrwxr-x 8 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 15 11:28 .cache/ -rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet phablet 418 Feb 28 05:18 .chromium-bsu drwxrwxr-x 9 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 15 11:27 .config/ d--------- 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 08:06 Documents/ d--------- 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 08:06 Downloads/ drwxrwxr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 31 04:50 .freegish/ drwx------ 3 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 31 19:51 .gnome2/ drwx------ 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 31 19:51 .gnome2_private/ drwxr-xr-x 3 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 16:05 .local/ drwx------ 3 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 16:44 .mozilla/ drwxrwxr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 31 04:53 .mu-cade/ d--------- 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 08:06 Music/ drwxr-xr-x 3 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 07:59 .numptyphysics/ d--------- 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 08:06 Pictures/ drwxrwxr-x 2 phablet phablet 4096 Feb 27 14:40 shared/ d--------- 2 phablet phablet 4096 Jan 30 08:06 Videos/ -rw------- 1 phablet phablet 1124 Feb 19 01:51 .viminfo -rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet phablet 12 Jan 30 16:11 .Xdefaults phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ rm -rf ~/.local/share/libertine-container/user-data/xenial/ phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$

@ilya-bystrov Have you tried using the Libertine setup in System Settings Libertine? I have found also that stopping the screen from locking also helps, system settings, battery, lock when idle, never.

This was happening to me on a Nexus 5 with latest stable release.
The container installed fine but the package install process was just spinning with no activity in the log (the one provided by the system menu).
The interface would still successfully install and remove other packages, but the one was perpetually stuck.
Opening the file browser app and simply deleting the contents of the above listed folders (no terminal commands needed), and rebooting fixed the issue. It did delete the entire container though... so I'm glad there was no important data in it.

If Anyone has this issue and the libretine is a chroot libretine (try runing
libertine-shell
and it will complain that it's not lxd/lxc container).just run
chroot <librtine directory normally at : /home/phablet/.cache/libertine-container/xenial/rootfs >
and then run
su 32011 dpkg --configure -a
this should finish the installation of the package

@darkeye nice, I used to errase the .local/libertine* folders and start again installing just through terminal, because the spining wheel might be a yes to continue that the libertine gui doesn't receive.
-
@darkeye said in Package installation stuck and spinning wheel never stops under Libertine:
the libretine is a chroot libretine
chroot <librtine directoryThank you for the clue but you have a problem with _ l i b e r t i n e _ spelling
Who is 32011 ?

I'm wondering what sens of this word led to using it for this contener, but for me that will remind me this for life

I've been having these problems, too. In one case, I tried to install ubuntu-restricted-extras, and the operation got to the point where I had to manually choose 'yes'. to accept a EULA license, but there was no apparent way to accept it and the package just stayed stuck forever.
The solution above seemed promising, but when I got to
su 32011
, the response wasNo passwd entry for user '32011'
.Moving forward, I think i'm going to either run:
libertine-container-manager install-package -p PACKAGE-NAME
or, I'll run
libertine-container-manager exec -i CONTAINER-IDENTIFIER -c "COMMAND-LINE"
and once in here, I'll just run
apt install PACKAGE-NAME
. It feels more natural, to me, to get into the libertine shell and run apt commands, but I don't know if there's any benefit to the other method. I don't know that packages installed with apt are going to show in up the libertine GUI, but at this point, I'm going to try to avoid that GUI as much as possible. It's just not a viable way to install packages, if there's a chance the installation process will prompt the user, and there's no way to interact with the operation.
