Upgrade was a disaster as usual

I'm SICK of upgrading every time with the fear of bricking my computer.

Every single distribution upgrade, something goes awfully wrong and I am
left with an unusable system, which up to now I've always been able to
recover, not without pain.

The upgrade from 15.10 to 16.04 has been no exception.

This time, after seeing a couple of times the message described in bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1561467, plus a
couple or three other crash reports, I suddenly got this error:

"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)"

Doesn't look promising.

It's unbelievable how carelessly the releases are released, and it's even
more unbelievable that critical bugs that leave the user with an unusable
machine go unfixed for so long (the next version has already been out there
for a while).

F**k you, Ubuntu.
