Public bug reported:
I was running the software updater to install ubuntu 18.04, when I got the
error message,
"Could not install systemd-shim."
I continued on with the install and got the message, "Could not install
"/var/cache/apt/...deb" package."
I continued on with the install and got the message "Could not install
upgrade."
I rebooted and it looks like it did upgrade most of the applications.
I ran the software updater and it tells me "Not all updates can be
installed" and that I have to run a partial install. I do this and get
the message "Could not install 'systemd-shim'. The upgrade has aborted.
Your system could be in an unusable state. A recovery will run now (dpkg
--configure -a)."
I tryed Synaptic and it tells me that systemd-shim is "Marked for
removal". I try and Apply the change and get the error message "E:
systemd-shim: installed systemd-shim package post-removal script
subprocess returned error exit status 2".
So how do I fix this so that I can finish the install?
