System is: ubuntu 14.04 x64 After this linux command i started to get this error: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade

It appears that this has occurred to some users after a PHP upgrade. Resolving it will likely mean identifying the location of your xdebug.so file and updating your php.ini to match. These threads include several suggestions on how to accomplish this.
