Desktop upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 LTS failed

[Marius Gedminas]

I tried to upgrade my laptop today with 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d', and the upgrade failed with the following error messages:

    Atnaujinimas baigtas, bet atnaujinimo proceso metu įvyko klaidų.

I'm currently running `sudo apt dist-upgrade -f` to recover (and it's upgrading 1598 packages).

Looks like an issue with trigger processing:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent processing triggers for menu:
 menu depends on libstdc++6 (>= 4.6); however:
  Package libstdc++6:amd64 is not configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package menu (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving triggers unprocessed
