i have neither seen that on my phone during testing, nor did anyone
report anything similar ... i wonder why you got into this state, did
you make the system writeable or install debian packages ? is this still
using the default channel for OTA ?

http://askubuntu.com/questions/602035/how-do-i-use-ubuntu-device-flash-with-the-bq-aquaris-e4-5
has instructions how to re-flash using ubuntu-device-flash (this deletes
all data though)

you can try to keep your data by first trying a manual flash without
--bootstrap and --recovery-image options though:

boot into fastboot mode as described in the post, then run:

sudo fastboot flash recovery /path/to/downloaded/recovery.img

after this, reboot into the new recovery mode you just flashed and run:

ubuntu-device-flash touch --channel ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en

(in case teh command complains, you perhaps need to add
--device=krillin)

see if this helps ... if not, i fear you will have to do a full
--bootstrap flash as described in the article and lose the local
data ....

ciao
