On Jun 3 2019, the system update corrupts the system. It will not boot. It hangs on the 3rd red dot of the Ubuntu splash screen. The remaining 2 dots are white. You never get the terminal screen with green [ ok] status lines.
A complete new install works fine. When you do a system update, you get the corruption and boot failure.

The system update is performed as follows:
1- software updater
2- reboot
3- repeat steps 1-2 until there are no more updates
4- synaptic package upgrader
5- reboot
The boot failure occurs on step 5. This is reproducible.
Here is a screenshot of the synaptic upgrader candidates. One or more of these is causing the boot failure.
