Further information. The upgrader had mentioned it needed to approve the removal of 30 obsolete package. I gave my approval and the fail to lock bug happened.

I remembered that before I started the major upgrade, I had started opening a .deb for Chrome browser. Before starting the upgrade, I did pause the package manager for the chrome installation.

I'm curious how the upgrader could do any work with another package manager running? It only crashed when it tried to get lock to remove obsolete packages.

When I rebooted the system, this package manager was not running. I tried to remove about 3 obsolete packages that Muon Package Manager identified. While no bug was generated, nothing happened.

So, I still have issues with Muon Package Manager to identify and remove 30 obsolete packages.
