Title:
  package libgnutls30:amd64 3.5.18-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade:
  package libgnutls30:amd64 is already installed and configured

Status in gnutls28 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I started the upgrade process to Ubuntu 18.04, but the upgrade aborted
  midway during the installations because a number of packages could not
  be installed/upgraded for unknown reasons. There were several pop-up
  dialog boxes, one for each package that failed to install. The upgrade
  itself aborted, and when I restarted the system, my Ubuntu OS was
  broken and I could not login. I fired up the shell (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and
  ran "sudo apt --fix-broken install", followed by "sudo apt full-
  upgrade" and "sudo apt autoremove". Since all the packages were
  already downloaded, the three commands proceeded smoothly. Then when I
  rebooted, I was able to login to Ubuntu 18.04, so it seems like the
  upgrade was successful. But now I've gotten numerous crash dialog
  boxes ("Ubuntu has experienced an internal error"), one for each
  package that had failed to install during the upgrade process. One of
  them was "gnutls28". I am afraid that the system might still be broken
  here or there.
