Well, the issue just seems to be a dpkg failure. "apt install -f"
shows nothing to fix.

So I'm wondering why dpkg wanted to remove libdebuginfod-common.

FYI, I did the upgrade via aptitude, and this package wasn't proposed
for removal. In /var/log/aptitude, after discarding the HOLD lines
(which correspond to no changes for these packages):

Aptitude 0.8.13: log report

  IMPORTANT: this log only lists intended actions; actions which fail
  due to dpkg problems may not be completed.

Will install 15 packages, and remove 6 packages.
