[Bug 1825420] Re: package linux-image-5.0.0-13-generic 5.0.0-13.14 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned

[arkmundi]

Upgraded today from 18.10 and encountered same issue:
Could not install 'linux-image-5.0.0-13-generic'

The upgrade will continue but the 'linux-image-5.0.0-13-generic' package
may not be in a working state. Please consider submitting a bug report
about it.

Could not install the upgrades

The upgrade has aborted. Your system could be in an unusable state. A
recovery will run now (dpkg --configure -a).

... then rebooted OK.  No idea whether I'm good to go or not.
