Upgrade was successful but there were problems in the rtupdate like:

Exception: cannot get content of ibus-hangul

so had to:

cd /usr/share/python3/runtime.d
sudo mkdir temp
sudo mv ibus-hangul.rtupdate temp

Had to move all of those those .rtupdate that said cannot get content of. Then dpkg --configure -a continued successfully.

What was the dpkg state of ibus-hangul?

It sounds like it wasn't installed, but the rtupdate file still existed on disk.

[shemgp (shemgp)]

Yes, it said somewhere after the error that ibus-hangul is not installed.

Given the inconsistency, marking as invalid. Unless that was caused by something in the archive, there's not much we can do here.

The fix was the same:

cd /usr/share/python3/runtime.d
sudo mkdir temp
sudo mv * temp

[Vitalicus (lisnic-v)]

mv: cannot move 'temp' to a subdirectory of itself, 'temp/temp'
