Yes, i had to fiddle around quite a lot with the package manager to get
everything going again and it all works now (the apport information
above is from after the upgrade).
That doesn't change the fact that a do-release-upgrade shouldn't just
fail in the middle and give up. In my opinion, it should try to
upgrade/install as much as possible and then print the couple of
missing/broken packages at the end.
At the very least, do-release-upgrade shouldn't just die without giving
the user at least some basic information of what to try next.

Title:
doc-base post-installation script breaks do-release-upgrade from 16.04
to 18.04
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On one of my computers, do-release-upgrade from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS
broke mid-update.
Logfile seems to indicate that the "doc-base" package is to blame:
