Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rolf Leggewie (r0lf)]

systemd-shim is a xenial package. Your distro information is bionic. Am I right to assume that this happened while you were trying to upgrade a xenial system to bionic? I have to admit I just ran into this myself.
