Apologies for the double-comment.

Following the guide from here...
https://askubuntu.com/questions/838491/systemd-shim-error-after-upgrading-from-16-04-to-16-10/838673#838673

I was able to continue upgrading with these commands:

[let upgrader bail out and run dpkg configure]
sudo mv /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.bak
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt autoremove

Then, to optionally finish cleaning up, check what packages are no longer supported using the command from...
https://askubuntu.com/questions/691051/how-to-get-the-list-of-the-unsupported-packages-mentioned-during-the-os-upgrade

awk -F\' '/demoted/ {gsub(/ /,"\n",$2); print $2}' /var/log/dist-
upgrade/main.log

The system in question appears to work fine now, just the usual cleanup
of changes for any major OS upgrade.

  Removing systemd-shim (9-1bzr4ubuntu1) ...
  Removing 'diversion of /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service to /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.systemd by systemd-shim'
  dpkg-divert: error: rename involves overwriting '/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service' with
    different file '/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/org.freedesktop.systemd1.service.systemd', not allowed
  dpkg: error processing package systemd-shim (--remove):
   subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 2
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   systemd-shim
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Commenting out the dpkg-divert in systemd-shim's postrm solved this
  for me and I was about to continue the upgrade.
