package uuid-runtime 2.27.1-6ubuntu3.3 failed to install/upgrade: package uuid-runtime is already installed and configured

[Ronald]

After uploading photos to Google Photo the system was frozen. After given a Crtl Alt Backspace the frozen browser disappeared. As well the Starter column did. Only the background screen remains. After a forced restart Ubuntu appears in the Grub list, but did not proceed any more. Starting up now in the recovery mode, but updating and autoremove commands are not executable.
