@seb, per discussion via IRC, here are my logs from /var/log/dist- upgrade (upgrade started last night and finally wrapped up this morning after a lot of coffee and swearing).
To answer the questions: I started off with 'do-release-upgrade -d' last night and ended up this morning with a reboot into rescue mode and a lot of 'apt-get -f install', 'dpkg --reconfigure -a' and finally an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' (or was it a -f install again?) to get the remaining held 2400+ packages updated. NOW I believe I'm finally updated to Bionic and running again. Also, will asked if I had manually modified anything in /etc/apt/sources.list and the answer is no, all that was handled by the upgrader. ** Attachment added: "xenial-bionic-upgrade-logs.tgz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-menus/+bug/1766890/+attachment/5127748/+files/xenial-bionic-upgrade-logs.tgz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-menus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766890 Title: package gnome-menus 3.13.3-6ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1766890/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
