I have tried these below commands to install PHP 5.6 while installing Lampp:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
  sudo apt-get update 
  sudo apt-get install php5.6
  sudo apt-get install php5.6-mbstring php5.6-mcrypt php5.6-mysql 
  php5.6-xml

But I am getting this error:

php5.6 is already the newest version (5.6.32-
1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 14 not upgraded.
21 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y
/usr/bin/dpkg: error while loading shared libraries: libselinux.so.1: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (127)

I tried many below links:

But I am getting this error still, and now I am unable to use apt-get -f install or install any other software.

Your question seems to be that you want to install php5.6, yet your system says php5.6 is already installed.

Can you use apt-get or dpkg commands at all? It looks like there is a problem with libselinux.so.1 or with the cache.

Run ldconfig as root. That should fix possible errors with shared libraries that are not registered properly in the cache.

Your output actually saying you are already having PHP 5.6 latest version on your system. However try the below.

Try apt-get autoremove then apt-get remove <your package> then install again your package apt-get install <your package>
