2018-08-20 06:52:20 MarcS description I ran do-release-upgrade from a terminal. The process eventually failed because of "too many errors". The root cause appears to be this: Removing systemd-shim (9-1bzr4ubuntu1) ... Removing 'diversion of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service to /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.systemd by systemd-shim' dpkg-divert: error: rename involves overwriting '/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service' with different file '/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.systemd', not allowed I appear to have worked around this by manually removing /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service, purging systemd-shim via `dpkg -P` and then doing `apt-get install -f`, which completed without errors.

After that, another `apt-get dist-upgrade` was apparently enough to complete the upgrade.
