    /var/log/dist-upgrade

    In main.log the last entries are:

    Does anyone know where the files are saved for a dist-upgrade that
    hasn't finished?


I know that apt-get (under normal circumstances) puts the packages in /var/cache/apt/archives. I think the upgrade process might do the same thing. This post seems to think so as well:

Never did find where stuff for dist-upgrade was stored. Fortunately, I was able to run a do-release-upgrade that actually completed. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
