Bug Description
The following message came up on the crash report screen:
package prelude-utils (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/etc/prelude/
I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I really don't know what this bug means, but after updating, it seems like a lot of things are crashing. This may had to do with the fact that my Ubuntu 18.04 upgrade was interrupted because I had to reboot after getting locked out of my computer during the upgrade.

UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
Actually, after reading the summary a bit more closely, I think the following two lines fixed the problem:
sudo apt purge libprelude2v5
sudo apt install prelude-utils
Sorry if this is not a very helpful bug report; it's just that making a bug report was suggested after the crash report came up, so I thought it was the appropriate course of action.
