Bug description:
  Crash during a system update "Software Updater"

  When tunning "apt upgrade" from the command line I get the following
  output:

  ***
  zahari at lenovo-t470:~$ sudo apt upgrade
  E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
