This line from VarLogDistupgradeAptlog.txt leads me to believe that you have modified that file:

libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:656 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf line 8: ignoring bad line starting with '“options'

Could you please run 'md5sum /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf' in a terminal and report back with the results? Thanks in advance.

I am getting the same error upgrading from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04. The upgrade then aborted and ran the recovery 'dpkg-configure-a'.

Brian, I ran your requested command and got this result: f27bc645e93e20c8e532325d190ac8ee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

Let me if there is any other information I can provide.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

@Malcolm Smith - and does your /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf file contain the word "options" in line 8? If not please open a new bug report regarding your issue.
