Just upgraded today from 16.04 to 18.04 and I got the same issue.

The systemd-shim package was still installed, the only way I had to
uninstall it was to force remove systemd, then I was able to purge
systemd-shim and reinstall systemd

I made sure that xenial was up2date before starting the update (using
update-manager) to bionic

  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:

  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.
