[Bug 1773859] Re: upgrades to 18.04 fail

 

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

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