OK, this problem is elsewhere. I started trying to upgrade because I was getting lockups on suspend as of having taken some updates--probably the wrong reaction, if e.g. a newer kernel is the problem. While debugging this upgrade problem, I also found lots of other ways to lock up my system [running lspci -k, starting the settings app, ...]. I've just tried booting into an older kernel [4.15.0-112 instead of 4.15.0-121] and suddenly everything works. Release notes show up, the upgrade seems happy to run. I haven't done the upgrade yet--might want to try a live-thumbdrive of the newer version to see if the kernel problem's there or not. But it's not the updater.
