I have tried with mine: bug #1787367. Okay, the usual update / upgrade runs through now, though what got was just the removal of the systemd-shim, and nothing else. feh and flowblade have been kept back. OpenOffice 6.0 (just as example) remains uninstalled. How can I know what else remains missing? The awk command lists a dozen of rather irrelevant stuff.
Thanks anyway for the trick to remove the systemd-shim blocker! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773859 Title: upgrades to 18.04 fail Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in systemd-shim package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in systemd source package in Bionic: Confirmed Status in systemd-shim source package in Bionic: Confirmed Bug description: $ sudo apt upgrade Reading package lists...
