Public bug reported: Tried to update from 'Software Updater' (OS updates were the only thing offered at the moment) because I wanted to install 'Rosegarden' midi creator. It installed (process bar) about halfway and then stopped. I left it for a while (hour or so) then had to leave work so needed to shut down the system. When revisited, was still at that point of install. Tried doing 'sudo apt update' and 'upgrade' and 'f install', etc from posts on ubuntu help site. This morning when booting I received a message that there was a system problem and did I want to report it? Said yes, and this is where it landed me.
