Public bug reported: This came up while I was upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04. I initially tried by running update-manager from a terminal (so using the GUI). That eventually launched a dialog, which froze up. At some point, I think while using the GUI, there was a bunch of spew printed to the terminal about Dbpassword being unable to access /var/lib/something/passwords.dat or so. (Sorry, I didn't save the exact text, so I only remember the gist.)
Then I tried apt-get dist-upgrade from the terminal. That failed; I think as soon as I said "Y", it spewed out a bunch of conflicts and told me to run apt-get install -f. That errored with something about url being in both texlive-latex-recommended-doc 2013 and texlive-latex-base- doc 2015. Per directions on the internet, I removed texlive-latex- recommended-doc, and tried apt-get install -f again. That had some more errors, but mostly progressed. After running that and dist-upgrade until things stopped, I rebooted. Immediately after logging in, I got a bunch of errors like "System software encountered a bug" or "Installing software was unsuccessful"; choosing to report on one of those sent me here, with a title like "package libssl1.0.0:amd64 1.0.2g-1ubuntu4.5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Terminated)". I'm kinda mystified by what happened, and I don't have great records, but perhaps some of this is helpful for finding some bug... I'm happy to try to answer questions. (Oh, and FWIW, I was running xmonad before and seem to have been dumped in a more standard UI post-upgrade. Conceivably that's related, but I assume not.)
