package e2fsprogs 1.44.1-1 failed to install/upgrade: pre-dependency problem - not installing e2fsprogs

[Chris Rogers]

Failed along with many other things, during 18.04 upgrade. libzstd.so seemed to be the start of all the failures. manually installing that and then running apt --fix-now install or whatever seemed to get things in a good state again.
