Bug Description

apt list --installed apt update-manager synaptic systemd
Listing... Done
apt/bionic-updates,now 1.6.12 amd64 [installed]
synaptic/bionic,now 0.84.3ubuntu1 amd64 [installed]
systemd/bionic-updates,now 237-3ubuntu10.40 amd64 [installed]
update-manager/bionic-updates,bionic-updates,now 1:18.04.11.12 all [installed]

I had failed partial update (using update-manager) with unconfigured systemd. My system was locked (unable to reboot without root). I did restart with sudo.

Synaptic will ask to kill apt then crash after launch with sudo. Synaptic was functional before update.

I got hint about "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (this command was suggested by apt during sudo apt remove ...)

I was able to update with update-manager after "sudo dpkg --configure -a".

I can start Synaptic again without errors and without rebooting.
