Public bug reported:
The error appeared on reboot after update from 16.04 to 18.04
During the version update something went wrong.
A message about systemd-sysv 237-3ubuntu10.3 appeared, with the additional info
that the system could be instable and that the tool will run a
"dpkgsomethingelse -a".
I launched the update software and i see a notification that asserts
that is not possible to install all updates and invite to run a partial
update.
Partial version update -> 1 package is going to be removed -> systemd-shim -
shim for systemd
Then:
Could not install 'systemd-shim'
The upgrade will continue but the 'systemd-shim' package may not be in a
working state. Please consider submitting a bug report about it.
installed systemd-shim package post-removal script subprocess returned error
exit status 2
FIX THAT WORKED FOR ME:
--------------------------
cd /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/
sudo mv org.freedesktop.systemd1.service org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.bak
Then Run Update -> Run Partial Upgrade
