Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

well i am/was "affected" by this bug...(i am using the 4.15 kernel, and lsb_release -rd reports
Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (development branch); release 18.04)

 but it is more an operational inconsistency IMO because after doing

sudo apt --fix-broken install (which was need before the sudo apt update)

which installed the missing apps, that were removed by the do-upgrade...

then did the standard sudo apt upgrade...
 that installed the 850+ upgrades and the 4.15 kernel...

everything went smoothly after that...

well i had to remove deja-dup because of errors...(but i digress)

Same here while upgrading my Raspberry Pi 2 (armhf) from 17.10 to 18.04. Upgrader finished with "Upgrade complete" but left hundreds of packages in their old versions. I had to fix that with aptitude and now it's actually finishing the upgrade.
