My situation breaking the install was a legacy install, to a disk partition with another Ubuntu installation (16.04) maintaining the bootloader files. The install was done without a bootloader (select an empty USB, and the error dialog allows you to procede without a bootloader). The update (after a month of successful updates) with a kernel update 4.0.15-15), apparently got really messed up by this situation. There was no /var/log/installer directory, nor the libzstd.so.1... library. With the release, I'll just reinstall, let the 18.04 take over the bootloader, and jump through the hoops to reinstall grub from the 16.04 installation. So, not every installation needs to add a bootloader, but it's too bad it's not as simple as adding a "none" to the choice of bootloader locations.
