[Bug 1892522] Re: apt dist-upgrade "crashes" two times

[Fritz Hudnut]

[edit: After I posted this earlier data, I ran apt and it brought back
126 packages to upgrade and some to autoremove . . . . Also I tried to
get into a TTY and it was filled with the "Failed" lines, I tried each
of them--all showing the same data. I ran the upgrades and then
autoremove showed at the end:

Title:
  apt dist-upgrade "crashes" two times

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Running a standard "apt dist-upgrade" in U-MATE 20.10 via GUI console
  & part way through suddenly the screen flashes black and a brief TTY-
  like dmesg data shows "[Failed] and a bunch of data before going black
  again . . . .  Seems like the GUI was crashed . . . .  After a minute
  the mouse cursor came back and then the log-in window.

  I logged in and saw the "error" applet up on the toolbar . . . saying
  "possibly unmet dependencies" . . . launched the console again and it
  said, "dpkg was interrupted, run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'" . . . so
  I ran that, and a few errors on "libreoffice" showed up . . . it was
  running through the items again . . . and then the same crash of the
  GUI happened again . . . ???

  Haven't seen anything quite like this in some 13 years of messing with
  linux . . . GUI crashes while running an apt update?????
