FWIW, this error (my bug was marked a duplicate) completely broke my Xenial - Bionic upgrade, leaving me with a nearly unbeatable system. I had to boot into Rescue Mode and do a lot of ctrl-C ing to get around this, and once I thought it had finally installed all the bionic packages, I rebooted into the OS proper, and STILL found it hadn't actually upgraded so I had to run 'apt-get -f install' again to finish the other 2400+ package updates.
I spent most of my morning just trying to get back to a bootable system that was only half-way upgraded (lsb-release told me I was in 18.04, name -a said I was still on 4.13 from 16.04.4, and apt said I still had 2400+ packages to update). If I was not an experienced user who knew roughly how to manually kick this stuff to get around broken package updates, I'd have been considerably more upset than I already am. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-menus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766890 Title: package gnome-menus 3.13.3-6ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: triggers looping, abandoned To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1766890/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
