[ubuntu-studio-users] Offer to upgrade failed

That was a great suggestion, and that finally got the upgrade started. The upgrade led to nearly countless errors. Near the end of the install, pretty much every message was an error message. The end of the installation, done in an xterm, is located at: https://pastebin.com/wWEitiTk
Near the start of the pastebin, it says the upgrade has aborted.
There are 149 references to various libraries relating to Python in the error messages in the pastebin.
Booting into the system gives me a console showing services starting, but then the system pretty much dies. As predicted by the error message, the system is in an unusable state.
It looks like a lot of work to fix. I think at this point, it is feasible to create a DVD and install fresh (with the same /home partition). Thanks for all your efforts.

Hi Paul,
Aah - I vaguely remember this problem. Python-enum has been removed from Debian. I ported laditools to use python-enum34 instead, which is the latest. Actually you don't even need this if you have python v3.5 and above.
Anyway, if you "apt remove python-enum", laditools will probably also be suggested for removal (and maybe some others). Then hopefully the upgrade succeeds, and after that you can reinstall laditools and the other stuff (if you need to use them).
Regards,
Ross
