It’s currently in this state, a reboot has not been attempted. I don’t think the trouble stems from me not following release note instructions. Though some more digging may tell for sure, if you can tell me what to dig for.

While it usually works, the safe and recommended way consists of a few more steps and is outlined in the Release Notes. It is also recommended to look at what apt says it will do.
