this looks mostly like file system corruption. Please try to reinstall the apt-xapian-index package.

All of the DIRs above had to be created manually, to continue, I had to remove the 2 locks above, yet at the dist-upgrade -y --fix-missing I received many other error later on (log was uploaded) in-here, but the point, is that previous errors were fixed by creating the DIRs above. By the way, my system is full ZFS in rpool. previous installation is running fine, not sure if this installation had downloaded what contributed to this? Thanks in advance for the good work you smart people do.
