Also, just in case anyone else is trying to upgrade and runs into this issue, I'll share it.
When I ran dist-upgrade the first time, it downloaded and unpacked everything okay but then failed with an error that dpkg had errored out. /var/log/dpkg.log didn't give anything helpful but I ended up finding the solution was to run 'apt --fix-broken install' just like that without specifying any package. After running that, dist-upgrade worked.
