I got vps that was running Ubuntu 16.04 and release upgrade caused unmet dependencies all over the system. SSH and FTP services are not working and I'm using "emergency console" that allows me console access.
Mainly major problem is that the package system itself has unmet dependencies and pretty much all command I have tried to google end in box with text: "Kernel must be upgraded. This version of the GNU libc requires kernel version 3.2 or later. Please upgrade your kernel before installing glibc." And the kernel/release update/upgrade command ends in same box.
I have tried -f, --fix-broken with update, upgrade, do-release-upgrade
All of these and few other commands (cant remember, tried so many) error something libv6.
For example, running sudo apt-get upgrade (error below) I get this and with -f or --fix-broken I get "kernel must be upgraded" box. (mentioned above)

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.24) but 2.23-0ubuntu11.3 is installed
libc-dev-bin : Depends: libc6 (> 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu11.3 is installed
libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.27-3ubuntu1.4) but 2.23-0ubuntu11.3 is installed
libgssapi-krb5-2 : Depends: libc6 (>= 2.27) but 2.23-0ubuntu11.3 is installed
locales : Depends: libc-bin (> 2.27) but 2.24-11+deb9u4 is installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.

My main goal is to restore FTP and if possible SSH connections.
