I strongly recommend waiting on further upgrades until this python issue
is sorted out:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/06/msg00138.html
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1768379
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-apt/+bug/1763844

I don't know why some people hit it and other people do not. It is not
a fun one to hit. Even with a full local archive mirror and decades of
experience with Debian and Ubuntu it took me several hours to repair.

Urop, if you hit something similar but not python, please file a bug.
It'd be nice to sort out as many of these upgrade issues before 18.04.1
as we can. (If you hit py3clean / py3compile issues then a fix is probably
already in progress.)

Thanks
