Fixed problem installing 19.10

[Heinrich Bjerregaard]

I am running a virtual machine using Ubuntu 19.04 on a Synology DS918.
After several attempts the upgrade each time ended up with ‘Oh, no - something went wrong…’.

The following fixed the mess:
1. start upgrade via standard Software Updater - after very long time it ends up with the Oh,no… (it won’t help to log out!)
2. log in via ssh from another computer to the VM
3. sudo killall dpkg		# (pgrep -f 'dpkg|apt’)
4. sudo dpkg --force-remove-reinstreq --remove nautilus-dropbox
5. sudo dpkg --configure -a
6. reboot
7. - the gnome desktop is back again
8. sudo apt autoremove --purge

Good luck
